Rogosi Manor
Võrumaa
Rogosi Manor, also known as Ruusmäe Manor, is a historic knight's manor located in the Võrumaa region of Estonia. The manor lies on the Haanja Upland, surrounded by four lakes, offering a scenic natural setting. Its origins trace back to the early 1600s, named after the Polish prince Stanislaus Rogosinsky who owned the estate from 1603 to 1625 and likely built a wooden fortification on the site of a former castle or medieval settlement. The manor later came under the ownership of the Liebsdorff family for over 130 years and subsequently the Glasenapp family until Estonia's land nationalization in 1919. Architecturally, the manor features a distinctive closed inner courtyard design created by the Glasenapp family. In the 20th century, the manor house was repurposed as a school, and since 2021 it has been managed by the Haanja Parish Foundation. Today, Rogosi Manor houses the Ruusmäe community center, library, guest apartments, and a kindergarten group of Haanja School, blending cultural heritage with community functions. The manor's historic gate tower was restored in 1999, preserving its historicist style. Rogosi Manor stands out for its rich history intertwined with regional conflicts and noble families, its architectural uniqueness, and its ongoing role as a cultural hub in Võrumaa.
