Vastseliina Manor (Estonian: Vastseliina mõis, German: Schloß Neuhausen)[1] was a knight's manor in Vana-Vastseliina, Võru County, Estonia.[2]

History

In the Middle Ages, the owner of the manor was the Bishop of Tartu.[2] After the Livonian War, the manor was a folvark or state manor of the Vastseliina starostwo in the Dorpat Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[3] In 1776, the cavalry guard captain Karl Gotthard von Liphart (1719–1792) established a fideicommissum of the Liphart family in his will for Vastseliina, Orava Manor, and other appertaining manors, as well as for Raadi Manor and its appertaining manors,[4] including the Raadi majorat manor. The last owner of the manor before the transfer of the manors in 1919 was Reinhold Karl von Liphart.[2] Most of the manor's buildings were destroyed in a fire on April 25, 1925.[2][5]
