Löwenruh’ Park

Löwenruh’ Park

 

The park is located at 59a Mustamäe Road. It is a successor to the former summer manor which used to be on the corner of Mustamäe and Linnu Roads. The plot was assigned to the mansion in 1653−1656 when the Kristiine hayfield got divided into 46 plots and sold to the citizens. After the Northern War the manor passed to the later Tallinn Governor Friedrich von Löwen, whom it owes its name to. The road connecting the manor to the Pärnu Highway was constructed in 1774 and presently is called Linnu (Bird’s) Road. Freidrich von Rosen became the owner of the manor at the end of the 18th century, hence the popular name Roosna mansion. An amusement and bath institution was established there in 1798, where the health treatment procedures were provided as well. A restaurant, confectioner’s shop, dance‑hall, bowling and shooting-gallery were present and drama pieces were staged as well. An enterprise of the merchant Friedrich Nolte producing vinegar, chocolate, colours and saltpetre was established there in 1804−1811. The main manor house was restored in the middle of the 19th century and the park got radically transformed. 19 large fish farming ponds were created. Two sculptures of lions bought in Germany were placed in front of the park on both sides of the bridge in the middle of the 19th century. The main manor house burned down to the ashes in 1886. Anna Graf, being the owner of the area, which was 26 ha in size, sold the plot in 1936 to AS Kopli Kinnisvara. The agricultural auxiliary farm of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Estonia was established there in 1945 and the fish farm, which existed up to the 1957, was established in 1948. The main plan of the park originates probably from the late 19th and early 20th century, when the majority of the old trees preserved till now were planted in the central part of the park. The rectangular central part of the park is surrounded by the ponds. The buildings of the stable and the ice cellar have been preserved. There were approximately 50 species of ligneous plants in the park in 2008. The main park area and the surroundings (ca 9 ha) count more than 500 trees, in addition to this small groups of trees and common black alder groves. Approximately one‑third of all trees are common alders and quarter are maples. The fascinating trees are the ancient horse‑chestnuts, white willows and Russian larches. The most rare trees are red maple, common maple ’Schwelderi’ and crack‑willows ’Bullata’. The park was renewed in 2005−2007 and some young trees were added.

A family playground and open‑air training equipment were installed in the northern part of the park in 2008.
