[eedit | edit soorce]Maidla (German: Maidel) manor haes a history that goes back tae at least 1452. Durin the Middle Ages, thare wis a fortifee'd manor or a smaw castle on the steid, pairts o which haes been incorporatit intae the eastren touer o the current, later biggin. The current biggin dates frae the seicont hauf o the 18t century, while it receivit its current leuk durin a reconstruction in the early pairt o the 19t century. The interior is characterisit bi its 19t-century decoration sic as a well-preservit neo-renaissance coffered ceilin.[1]
The estate haes belangit tae several local Baltic German airistocratic faimilies throuoot its history, notably the Taube, von Fersen an von Maydell faimilies.
