The manor was established in 1733 and belonged to the city of Tartu. The classical single-storey main building was erected in the estate probably during the first decades of the 19th century. Currently, the building houses the Tartu Maarja School (in Estonian: Tartu Maarja Kool) intended for children with disabilities.

By the historical distribution the manor was in Tartu-Maarja Parish in Tartumaa County. By the present administrative distribution it belongs to the Tartu Town in Tartumaa County.
