The place was first mentioned in 1453 under the name Thomall . In 1495, the master of the order Wolter von Plettenberg enfeoffed the estate to a Heinrich Schulmann. From 1495 until it was confiscated in 1613 and from 1646 (after the Peace of Brömsebro , through which Saaremaa fell from Denmark to Sweden) until 1671, the estate belonged to the Schulmann family.
From 1671 until the expropriation in the course of the Estonian land reform in 1919, the estate was owned by the noble Baltic German family Stackelberg, with one short exception at the beginning of the 18th century . In May 1801, the Russian Tsar Alexander I dined in Tumala.
From 1932 to 1976 a school was housed in the manor's one-story manor house. With the new use, the building was heavily redesigned. Today it serves as a residential building.
graveyard
The nearby cemetery of the von Stackelberg family was laid out in 1833. A total of fifteen people were buried there. The small chapel in the classical style with its portico from the middle of the 19th century is only preserved today as a ruin.
