Description and history
Emmaste (German Emmast ) today has 217 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2011). Today there is a post office, a library and a primary school in Emmaste. One of the most famous students was the Estonian zoologist and environmental activist Fred Jüssi (* 1935).
Emmaste Church
In 1866 the parish of Emmaste was founded. The Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Church in Emmaste was consecrated in September 1867. The first pastor was Ferdinand Justius Luther (1838–1910).
The owner of the Emmaste estate, Maria Brevern De la Gardie , had made land available for the construction. Previously, the parish had used the wooden chapel of Sõru ( Serro ), probably from the 17th century, for services, which had become dilapidated in the middle of the 19th century.
The low tower is characteristic of the restrained construction. The nave awakened despite the rows of columns that support the roof, the impression of a hall church .
The altar painting “The Resurrection of Christ” from 1900 is the work of the Estonian painter Tõnis Grenzstein (1863–1916).
Good Emmaste
The estate of Emmaste was in 1796 from the estate Suuremõisa ( Grossenhof separated). It was built on the site of a dilapidated village as a courtyard and became a manor in 1826 . With the Estonian land reform , the estate was expropriated in 1919. Since then, a school has been housed in the manor house.
The single-storey mansion is kept simple. In 1960 an upper floor was added. In 1997 an auditorium was added. A 2.5 hectare park extends near the building.
