In 1700, brothers Karl Johann and Georg Hastfer pledged the manor to Heinrich Berend von Schulmann. In 1709, Berend von Schulmann died, and the right of pledge of Saku Manor passed to his son, county councillor, and in 1713\u20131715 also to the head of the Estonian Knighthood, Berend Johann von Schulmann. In 1733, the manor was sold and Adam Johann von Hueck became the new owner.<\/p>\n

The manor probably remained in the possession of Adam Johann von Hueck, an influential citizen of Tallinn, for a short time.<\/p>\n

The Huecks were not even nobles when they got hold of Saku Manor. It is an ancient family of merchants from Westphalia, of whom there are reports from L\u00fcbeck in the early seventeenth century. They could be seen in Tallinn from 1656. In 1816, they received the title of Russian nobility, but they have not been included in the Baltic nobility matricles.<\/p>\n

Adam Johann and his wife Anna Christina had four children: three sons and one daughter.<\/p>\n

The doors between the Hunting Hall and the Cognac Salon are older than the manor house itself. These doors date from 1730\u20131764, when the manor was owned by the Hueck family (Adam Johann Hueck).<\/p>\n

The peculiar oak door of the cognac salon of Saku Manor, finished with dark lacquer, is surrounded by a Renaissance-style designed frame. Both wings of the door are divided into three panels. The panels and sopraportas each have a painting with a burnt pattern with a different composition.<\/p>\n

The door has been cleaned and restored years ago. During the work, the signature \u2018J. Hueck\u2019 was discovered on it, which fixes the name of the master. At that time, it was customary to take details from the old building when constructing a new building, and this is probably how these doors got into the manor house.<\/p>\n

A similar door is also located in the town house belonging to Huecks at 29 Lai Street, the examination of which proved that both this door and the above-mentioned door of Saku Manor are the work of the same master J. Hueck and date from the end of the eighteenth century. They are accompanied by pattern sample albums.<\/p>\n

After the death of A. J. Hueck (1764), the heirs sold the manor to Freiherr Otto Magnus von Rehbinder. The Rehbinder family was one of the richest in the Governorate of Estonia, and in addition to the magnificent Saku Manor on the banks of the V\u00e4\u00e4na River, they owned several other manors in Estonia, Finland, and Sweden.<\/p>\n

Otto Magnus was a chamberlain and secret adviser to Saxe-Weimar, and in 1787, he received a diploma from the Emperor Joseph II for his services to the court. In 1765, Otto Magnus von Rehbinder<\/strong>, a progressive and extremely rich man who already owned about a dozen manors in Estonia, also bought Saku Manor. Until 1843, the estate together with the neighbouring Saue manor and J\u00e4lgim\u00e4e manor was in the possession of the Rehbinders.<\/p>\n

The story of how the Rehbinders became counts is one of love uniting one Estonian noble family with the rulers of both the German-Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France.<\/p>\n

Two great figures in world history are associated with this story: the German-Roman emperor<\/a> Joseph II<\/a> (1741\u20131790) and the French queen Marie Antoinette<\/a> (1755\u20131793), who is known to have lost her life during the turbulent times of the French Revolution<\/a> through guillotine.<\/p>\n

Namely, Otto Magnus von Rehbinder<\/strong>\u2019s youngest son, Karl Friedrich von Rehbinder, wanted to marry Countess Geertruid van Nassau La-Lecq (1768\u20131837), a member of the House of Nassau-Oranje from North Brabant.<\/p>\n

Although Otto Magnus von Rehbinder<\/strong> owned the manors of Udriku, Imastu, Polli, Saku, Liigvalla, and Vanam\u00f5isa, the suitors considered it not enough and thought that it would be appropriate for the future spouse to have at least the title of Count.<\/p>\n

Geertruid was Princess Marie Antoinette\u2019s friend and distant relative. Marie Antoinette, in turn, was the sister of the German-Roman emperor Joseph II. Therefore, in 1787, at the request of his sister, the German-Roman emperor Joseph II<\/p>\n

awarded the title of Count to Karl Friedrich\u2019s father, Otto Magnus Rehbinder zu Uddrich (1727\u20131792), lord of Udriku Manor. Karl Friedrich, the son of Otto Magnus<\/strong>, also became a Count. A happy wedding was held in Lausanne<\/a> in 1786 and they lived happily ever after.<\/p>\n

Otto Magnus von Rehbinder<\/strong> was married twice and had seven children. His first wife was Agneta Helena von Bistram and the second wife was Freifrau Sophie Katharina Dorothea von der Pahlen.<\/p>\n

He had two sons with Sophie Katharina Dorothea von der Pahlen:<\/p>\n
