Ulvi Manor (Oehrten) was first mentioned in 1489. In the 18th century it belonged to the Clapier de Cologne family and from 1803 to von Winkler. The last owner was Alexander von Winkler who owned the manor until 1939. The main building is constructed in two stages. In the 1880s, a two-storey historicist extension with a tower was added to the simple single-storey main building. Nowadays the building is used as the local government of Rägavere Parish.[1]

Ulvi is bordered by the Kunda River on its western side.
