history
An important paper mill was located in the Haimre from 1717 to 1795 .
The German Baltic estate of Haimre was first mentioned in 1420 under the name Heymer as the property of the Bishop of Ösel-Wiek . From the 15th to the 17th century the estate was owned by the Fahrensbach family . As early as 1425 Wilhelm I von Fahrensbach zu Heimar was named as possessive. After lengthy litigation with the church, he was able to inherit the property for his family. The last owner was Dietrich IV von Fahrensbach, who died before May 1, 1637. Heimar first got married to the Wrangel through his eldest daughter . As early as 1694, however, the Heimar estate went to the Hastfer family , in 1720 to the von Buhl family, the Uexküll family followed for the first time in 1750, then ownership went to the von Hoyningen-Huene family in 1768 , Heimar again fell to the Uexküll family in 1799, followed in 1898 the Buxhoeveden and finally 1900-1919 as the last Baltic German owners, the Straelborn family.
The buildings of the manor were attacked and burned down by Estonian insurgents during the Russian Revolution in 1905 . Today they are only preserved as ruins.
The spacious park of Gut Haimre was designed in the middle of the 19th century by the landscape gardener Heinrich August Dietrich (1820–1897), one of the most outstanding biologists in the Baltic region . The park is now a nature reserve.
The most famous son of the village was the Estonian coachman Rein Kaltsenau. In 1910 he received one of the first official driving licenses in Estonia. He worked as a chauffeur for forty years .
