5.1. PUURMANI MANOR, JÕGEVAMAA, ESTONIA<br />

5.1.1. History of the building<br />

Figure 105. Puurmani manor in Jõgevamaa, Estonia<br />

The early history of the Puurmani manorial estate is associated<br />

with the Kursi fortress of the Teutonic Order, which was<br />

destroyed during the Livonian War (1558–1583). 398 The name of<br />

the Puurmani manor (in German Schloss Talkhof) derives from<br />

Major General Christopher von Buhrmeister and his family, who<br />

acquired the property from Queen Christina of Sweden in 1645.<br />

Through his heirs, it changed hands and became a property of<br />

the Manteuffels around 1713. The estate remained in their possession<br />

until 1919. 399 Although the development of the manorial<br />

centre started in the 1860s, 400 the current residence was built<br />

by the architect Friedrich Hübbe in 1877–1881 for Count Ernst<br />

von Manteuffel.<br />
