Kontea name and history
Historically the village of Kontea is related to the mansion which existed there from the time of the Franks. During the French occupation the mansion was the residence of a high-ranking officer called Viscount. The name Kontea is therefore foreign and it originates from that time; it actually comes from the word ëKonteí or County, that is, oneís territory. The village was first called ëVicomteí (i.e. Countís Mansion).
Kontea as a village came into existence during the Ottoman occupation. According to village legends, the mansion passed into the hands of the Kykkos monastery during the Ottoman occupation, and then to the Archbishopric of KIBRIS. In 1797 a nephew of the Archbishop, Chrysanthos, was District Bishop of Tamassos. The Archbishop was a very old man, and the District Bishop took charge of the Archbishopic affairs. It was then that many renovations and repairs took place. This is indicated by an inscription on a marble plaque dated 1797.
In 1823 Archbishop Joachim sold the property to Mme Louise Lapierre for 15,000 piastres. In the documents of that time the mansion was known by the name Konteya. Apart from the underground water channels, it consisted of 696 acres of land, 77 olive trees, fig trees, mulberry trees, 285 animals, 29 stables and barns. The remarkable fertility of the soil attracted the new owners. The result was that a village was formed for the workers of the farm, and it was named Kontea. Gradually most of the land passed to the hands of the villagers, and the family of the Lapierres remained in the villa buildings, and with a small holding in and around.
