Audru Audern
Audru was recorded as an episcopal estate in 1449 and after the Livonian War was a state manor until it passed into private hands in 1627. From 1807 it belonged to the Pilar von Pilchau family. The wooden house built in the late 1700s was destroyed in 1941, but several fine outbuildings survive.
