Kiidjärve Manor
Kiidjärve was the location of Kiidjärve Manor (German: Kiddijerw), first mentioned in the end of the 17th century. At first it belonged to the Zoege von Manteuffel family, but changed the owner very often thereinafter. The last baron, E. von Maydell, built a red brick watermill on the Ahja River in 1914. In 1922 the manor was dispossessed and gifted to Independence War veteran Victor Mutt. The manor's classicist wooden main building was destroyed during a fire in 1950. In 2003 a new culture house-library was built on the site. The surrounding park was created in the second half of the 18th century, and was placed under natural protection in 1972.[5]
