Atla Manor was first mentioned as Groß-Attel in 1422,[3] when it belonged to Hannes van Treyden. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the manor belonged to the Dücker family. After the Great Northern War, it was owned by the Maydells and the Helffreichs. From 1873 to its dispossession in 1919, the Barlöwens lived there.[4] Nowadays a private pottery workshop is located in the manor.[citation needed]
