- Ungru manor (in German Linde or Lindenhof) was founded in 1523 when it was separated from Kiltsi manor. In 1629, Swedish king Gustav II Adolf gave the manor to Otto von Ungern-Sternberg as a gift. The first manor house was built in 1630. The baroque building was not as remarkable as the surrounding park that was claimed to have been one of the most beautiful parks in the whole of Estonia. In 1830 Magnus de la Gardie bought the manor. After his death, Evald Ungern Sternberg bought the manor.

- According to rumors, his son, count Ewald Adam Gustav Paul Constantin von Ungern-Sternberg, had visited the renaissance style castle of Merseburg in Germany in the beginning of the last decade of the 19th century, where he fell in love with the daughter of the castle's owner. When he proposed to her, the young lady claimed to be so fond of her father's castle that she promised to stay there for the rest of her life. After that the count in love had promised to build exactly the same castle. Having received a promise from the lady to marry him as soon as the castle was ready, the man hurried back home, where in 1893 the construction was begun. 

- In a couple of years, the frame of the house and the roof were ready. Interior works took some longer time and they were almost completed when a message arrived informing about the death of the beloved lady. The count himself fell ill in 1908 during a trip to St. Petersburg where he died as well. According to his wish he was brought back to Haapsalu by train and then carried into the manor, where he spent, though already dead, his only night. Later he was buried in Hiiumaa, to his family's burial place in Kõrgessaare.

- The mansion was left without an owner and it started to dilapidate due to pillages already during World War I. During Soviet times, an airfield was built nearby. In order to find some hidden treasures and get building materials, the local people and the military destroyed this magnificent building step by step. Today's owners have decided to preserve the building as a sightseeing place and take care of its surroundings.

- The manor is built from local materials under the supervision of an Estonian master builder A. Saar. E. Schwartz and P. Subanejev has been mentioned as architect of the building. The entrance of the building was in the southwestern tower, a staircase led from there to the reception floor with a big ballroom and adjacent play rooms, a dining hall, a wardrobe and salons. The first floor was used for management purposes. The former manor was worth 5 million gold roubles. Some original trees of the manor park have been preserved until today. An oak that is relatively close to the main road is known as Peter's oak. It was supposedly planted by Peter I or according to another legend, he had had his meal under that oak. An old arched bridge of limestone has also been preserved on the road going from the manor towards Haapsalu, the park area reached until there. This is the road that goes past the present dumping ground through Paralepa to a big stone.

- Like mentioned, this manor ruin is right next to the airfield. The big repairing hall is almost attached to the ruins and in some of the pictures, it can be seen in the background. When the airfield was operational, it most likely has been impossible to visit the ruins, as you could have seen to the airfield so clearly.

- Only the walls remain from the Ungru manor. The place was ruined even more during the Second World War, when some fighting took place in the area. However, there has been a second floor existing even some 25 years ago, as one of the towers contains the Olympic rings. The Moscow Olympics were held in 1980 and most likely the soldiers from the airfield, have decorated the ruins with the Olympic rings. Today, the place where those rings are, is inaccessible, as there is no floor anymore.
