Abja-Vanamõisa
Abja-Vanamõisa (also known as Tümpsi) is a village in Mulgi Parish, Viljandi County, in southern Estonia.[2] It's located about 4 km (2 mi) west of the town of Abja-Paluoja and 7 km east of Mõisaküla, between the Valga–Uulu (Valga–Pärnu) road (nr. 8) and the Estonia–Latvia border. Abja-Vanamõisa has a population of 95 (as of 1 January 2012).[1]
The village was first mentioned in 1583 when the Livonian War was ending. In 1811 a manor known as Friedrichsheim was established in the village by detaching the lands from the nearby Abja Manor. It's known that a school operated in Vanamõisa already in 1838. In 1914 a flax factory which is considered to be the first in Estonia[3] was established by engineer Mats Kissa (1887–1956) in Vanamõisa. The factory was closed in 1990.[4]
Soviet admiral Johan Ludri [et] (1895–1937) was born in Ärma farmstead in Abja-Vanamõisa.[4]
Popular Estonian organic dairy products producer Pajumäe Farm is located in Abja-Vanaõisa.
