The centre of the manor, which had first been mentioned in 1394, was moved to Uue-Riisipere during the period of the von Stackelbergs at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1821, one of Estonia’s most luxurious classicists main buildings was completed on the manor grounds (and was used as an orphanage for a long time, now privately owned).

By the historical distribution the manor was in Nissi Parish in Harjumaa County. By the present administrative distribution it belongs to the Nissi Municipality in Harjumaa County.
