The manor house was constructed in the Middle Ages near the stronghold commonly owned both by the Livonian Order and Saare-Lääne (Oesel-Wiek) bishopric. Later, the manor house was linked to the Totts, von Stackelbergs, von Wistinghausens and von Buxhoevdens. An impressive two-storey Classicist main building was completed in 1824, which now houses the Lihula Museum.
