The business card of the manor ... The Mill
The first mention of the Vihula manor located in Lahemaa National Park occurs in written sources in 1501. At that time the manor belonged to the Danish baron Hans von Lode. During the Northern War the manor was burnt, after which the owners became Vekebrodi, who bequeathed the manor to the daughter's family - von Helffreichid. In 1810 the estate was bought by Alexander von Schubert. In its modern form, the Vihula Manor was built in the time of von Schubert in the period 1820-1880
In 1917, during the revolution, the estate was destroyed by the Red Guard, and in the interval between the First World War and World War II the estate was owned by the state. When the Second World War was on the territory of the manor there was a German counterintelligence school. After the war was over, Vihula Manor began to treat the collective farm. From 1951 to 1982, a house for the elderly was opened in the premises of the manor. In 1982, a large fire broke out on the grounds of the manor, after which the estate was handed over to the Viru collective farm.

Since 1991, to be exact since July 1 of this year, the estate is owned by the joint stock company Vihula Mois. Now the area of ​​all buildings is equal to eight thousand square meters. Near the main buildings there is a park, the surrounding lands occupy almost 47.97 hectares. At the central entrance to the territory of the Vihula Manor there are stone columns, on which the von Schubert family coat of arms is depicted.
