In 1517 the Ropecke farm was given to a certain Johann Tittfer. From 1671 to 1823 it was owned by the noble Baltic German family Stackelberg . In 1823 it became the property of the Vietinghoff family . From 1846 until it was expropriated as part of the Estonian land reform in 1919, the estate belonged to the Helmersen family .
The mansion was probably built in the 19th century. Today it only stands as a ruin. The remains of some outbuildings can still be found in the overgrown park.
