SEEOru Park Landscape Reserve, Toila-Oru Park: witch forest, grotto, castle ground

Oru Park is unique in its position, design and richness of species. The park is characterized by varied terrain and the rapids valley of the Pühajõgi River.

Oru Park and the grand palace in the beautiful valley of the River Pühajõgi was built by Grigori Jelissejev, one of the wealthiest men in 19th century Russia. In 1935, three Estonian industrialists bought the palace and park and then gifted it to President Päts to be used as his summer residence. The palace was later destroyed during the Second World War.
