The Rogosi estate was probably built in the 16th century when the Rauge parish in Livonia belonged to the Polish Empire. The manor was first mentioned in 1591. Its name is based on the then owner, Prince Stanisław Rogoziński (owner from 1603 to 1625).
In 1629 the new ruler of Livonia, the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf , enfeoffed the Berlin grammar school director Clas Hermann von Liebsdorff with the estate. In 1776 the estate came into the ownership of the Baltic German family von Glasenapp through marriage . Most of the property was expropriated in 1919 as part of the Estonian land reform . Since 1934 there was a school in the manor house.
The manor houses were built on the site of a medieval castle. The two-storey manor house in the Baroque style with its mansard roof and the farm buildings are grouped around a representative inner courtyard. The complex therefore looks like a fort castle protected on all sides . It received its present-day appearance in the last quarter of the 18th century. It is surrounded by water on three sides.
The main building was redesigned again in the second half of the 19th century and fundamentally renovated after Estonian independence was regained. A local museum is now housed in the former watchtower of the estate with its historicist spire. Some buildings now serve as a hotel and seminar center.
