Republic. At first the Viimsi manor that belonged many years to general

dukes, barons, counts etc have helped the young republic a lot in the
War of Independance in 1918-20 and have received the Estonian highest
official reward for their merits - are the cavaliers of Estonian Cross
of Independance / Eesti Vabadusrist/

In the year 2008 everybody is welcome to support the Tammistu manor near Tartu,
where Estonian Agrenska Foundation is planning to create a center,
