Sausti manor, Manor in Jüri socken, Estonia
Sausti Manor is a country estate in Kiili Municipality, featuring a main residence that blends architectural styles accumulated over centuries of development. The complex includes multiple outbuildings and agricultural structures arranged around the central residence, typical of how such Estonian properties were organized.
The estate first appears in records from 1453 and was owned by the von Scharenberg family during the 1600s before becoming an independent property. This separation from the neighboring Saue estate marked an important shift in how the land was managed.
The manor now hosts events and gatherings, making it a place where the history of Estonian rural estates comes alive for visitors. The surrounding buildings and grounds still reflect how this kind of property once functioned as a self-contained community.
The manor is located outside Tallinn in Kiili Municipality and is accessible by car, situated in a countryside setting. Since it primarily functions as an event venue, visitors should contact ahead to check availability and whether they can tour the grounds.
The property has been known by different names across languages and centuries, including Мыза Саусти in Russian and manoir de Groß-Sauß in French. These varying names reveal how the region experienced influences from multiple cultures and powers over time.
