HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE
The village of Kumna was first mentioned in the 13th century in the Danish Valuation Book, which gives an idea of the region’s long history. Kumna Manor, also known as Knoobus Manor, was founded in the 1620s and its first owner was Johan Knopius. The property has been owned by several prominent families over the centuries, including the Göbels and Meyendorffs.
The manor house, which was probably built in the second half of the 18th century, is a single-storey wooden building with a gable roof on a high plinth. It has come down to us after being rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The building is characterized by numerous wooden decorations, especially in the window lintels. In the central part of the facade there is a small protruding vestibule and a stone extension at the right end. The former main building of Kumna Manor has been preserved in its historical form, offering a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience an authentic manor milieu. At the end of the photo gallery are maps depicting the manor from 1697, 1897 and 1936.
