The Siksaar manor was first mentioned in 1690. It was also called a solitude . In the middle of the 18th century the property became an independent estate.
The one-story wooden mansion was built in the 19th century in the classicism style. Today it serves as a residential building. Some outbuildings have also been preserved. Among other things, the former stone barn from the end of the 19th century was stylishly designed; the roofing of the central part is supported in the strict forms of post-classicism by two pairs of round pillars with Doric capitals .
The last owner of the estate before it was expropriated as part of the Estonian land reform in 1919 was the Baltic German baroness Martha von Stackelberg.
