Liigvalla ( German Löwenwolde ) is a village (Estonian küla ) in the Estonian rural community Rakke in Lääne -Viru county. It has 130 inhabitants (as of 2000).
History
Liigvalla is located about 30 kilometers from Tapa ( taps) away. The village was first mentioned in 1282 under the name Lykewalde. Since 1558 the manor te Liwol is detected. He belonged in the Middle Ages to the monastery Kärkna ( Sokolov ) and was from the end of the 16th century in private hands. The estate was divided before 1682 in the goods Lewolde and Piipe. By the middle of the 19th century was the Good ( with interruptions) owned by the Baltic German family of Rehbinder.
This prestigious mansion in the late Baroque style was completed in 1797. It was built to replace a previous building made of wood. The manor house was probably designed by the Rostock architect Johann Heinrich Walter Bartholomew, who for some time in Tartu ( Dorpat ) worked. Walter has, inter alia, the Tartu Town Hall and the mansions of Salla ( Sall ), Varangu ( Wrangelshof ) and Väätsa ( Waetz ) configured. On the lower ground floor with vaulted ceilings and a central corridor is the main floor. In the center is the room, adjoined by other rooms.
Of the few outbuildings of the manor, the steward's house with its baroque roof windows is obtained, which was built directly next to the mansion. End of the 18th century, the unspoilt natural park of the estate has been created.
The Baltic German nobleman Nikolai von Schilling, whom the goods belonged Liigvalla, was expropriated by the Estonian land reform of 1919. Then in the mansion a school was housed. After the end of the Soviet occupation and the restoration of Estonian independence, the mansion was sold to a private individual.
