Manors were significant centers of economic and social life in Estonia during various periods, often serving as the administrative and residential hub for the surrounding land. While the exact history of the specific manor in Mõisamaa might be detailed in local archives, the presence of a manor typically implies a history of land ownership, agricultural production, and possibly a social hierarchy involving landowners and laborers.

The landscape of Mõisamaa is characteristic of the Estonian coastal regions, featuring a mix of open fields, wooded areas, and proximity to the sea. Such environments often support unique flora and fauna and have historically influenced the livelihoods of the local population, with fishing and agriculture being common.

In contemporary Estonia, villages like Mõisamaa often face challenges related to depopulation and the changing economic landscape. However, they also represent a connection to Estonia's rural heritage and natural beauty.
