What is Saka Manor’s connection to Scotland?
On 5 November 2010, the restored main building of Saka Manor was ceremonially opened. The manor has a long and fascinating history, although for the last couple of decades before restoration it had stood abandoned in ruins.
Historically, Saka belonged to the Lüganuse parish. Today it is located in Toila Municipality. Saka is one of the villages mentioned already in 1241 in the Danish Census Book. Over time, several name forms have been used for Saka: Satzae, Satze, Szacke, Sackekülle, Grodt-Sacke, Sakka, and Sackhof.
The manor known as Gross-Sack / Sackhof was founded in the 17th century after King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden granted the land in 1626 to Jürgen (Jöran) Leslie, originally from Aberdeen in Scotland. Leslie came from a powerful Scottish clan.
After Jöran Leslie's death in 1651, the manor passed to his heirs, who held it for 120 years. On 28 September 1748, the manor was sold to Katharina Margaretha von Wrangell, a member of the well-known Pufendorf family.
The first known owner of Saka Manor (from 1626) — Jöran Leslie — was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. He and his heirs governed Saka Manor for almost 120 years. The last family to leave Saka in the autumn of 1939 before World War II — the Löwis of Menar family — also had Scottish roots. They had owned the manor for almost 130 years.
Thus, Saka Manor fully deserves to be called a Scottish manor. This is also reflected in the bronze sculpture “From Generation to Generation,” erected in summer 2021 in front of the manor to honour its 400-year history, depicting the coats of arms of the two Scottish families.
