Well

In the middle of the 16th century, a Johann Wrangell inherited the paternal farm of the same name. The Estonian-speaking name of the present-day village is also derived from the Baltic German family name Wrangell .

At the end of the 17th century the estate became a crown estate due to a reduction in goods . In 1725, after the end of the Northern War , it was partially restituted. In the same year Neu-Wrangelshof (Estonian Vastse-Prangli ) was separated from Alt-Wrangelshof (Estonian Vana-Prangli ).

Alt-Wrangelshof then changed hands frequently. It was successively owned by the noble families Schoultz , Manteuffel , Anrep and Löwis of Menar . The last private owner before the expropriation in the course of the Estonian land reform in 1919 was Edgar von Löwis of Menar.

Right-wing terrorist Richard von Loewis of Menar (1900–1931) was born on Gut Alt-Wrangelshof .
