Alavere was first mentioned in 1241 in the Liber Census Daniæ, during the reign of King Valdemar II of Denmark, as Hauaueeræ. The village center of present-day was built up around a manor house, dating from the 1620s. The Allafer Manor (Estonian : Alavere mõis) of the former Kose Parish passed between the hands of several families throughout the centuries, notably the Baltic German Löwensterns in the 18th century and the Ungern-Sternbergs in the 19th century. The main building of the mansion, built by Baron Gregor von Ungern-Sternberg in 1852, was heavily damaged by local peasants during the 1905 Revolution but was rebuilt. The last individual owner of nobility was Mary von der Pahlen, who acquired it in 1907. During the Estonian Land Reform in 1919, the manor's lands were nationalized. The new owner of the manor house demolished the structure in 1938, with the granite stones brought to Tallinn to be reused in buildings there. [5] [6] During the Soviet era, Alavere was part of the Kose Village Council and was the site of 7,700 hectare state farm.
