Penijõe (German Pennijöggi ) is a village ( Estonian küla ) in the rural municipality of Lääneranna in Pärnu County (until 2017: rural municipality of Lihula in Lääne County ).
Description and history
The place has only two inhabitants today (as of December 31, 2011). It is located 28 kilometers southeast of Haapsalu .
The Pennipanoya brook was first mentioned in a document in 1368 . The stream, a tributary of the Kasari ( Kasari jõgi ), gave the place its name. In the first half of the 17th century a courtyard was built next to the mill.
Well from Penijõe
The penijõe manor was first recorded in 1765 . It was later owned by the Middendorff family. The last owner before the expropriation as part of the land reform in Estonia in 1919 was the Baltic German nobleman Johann Andreas von Wetter-Rosenthal.
The current mansion in (neo) classical style was built in the second half of the 18th century. Around 1820 the first wooden floor was added and a four-column portico with a triangular gable was added. There are two smaller jacketed chimneys on the roof.
From 1935 to 1955 an agricultural school was housed in the former manor house, followed by apartments. Since 2000, the Matsalu National Park administration ( Matsalu rahvuspark ), the information center and a natural history museum have been located in the renovated building .
