HISTORY:
Kose Summer Manor was built on the southern bank of the River Pirita near Tallinn by the merchant family the Kochs in 1790. It also provided the area with its name Kose.
The summer manor buildings were built in the picturesque valley next to a flower meadow surrounded by a pine grove high above the riverbanks. Numerous writers in their memoirs and travel journals have described the summer manor as the garden of Eden. The vast orchard, park and wild nature around the manor have made a lasting impression on countless people. In addition to abundant flowers and shrubs, the park was adorned also by pheasants and peacocks walking in the garden. One of the most dazzling areas was the pond behind the main building that included also a small beach.
In the manor complex, there was also a spacious stable and coach house, a garner and a summer house pavilion. Sometime later, also a family cemetery and mausoleum were established at the northernmost part of the property.
The manor changed owners in the beginning of 1930-s. After the departure of Ilse Koch, the heir of Baltic-German descent, the summer manor was taken over by Klaus Scheel thus also changing the name of the manor to “Scheeli Villa”.
