Pahkla Pachel
Over the centuries Pahkla passed from the Lodes and Fersens to the Baranoffs and Taubes. A single-story L-shaped house and the outbuildings lining its forecourt formed a quiet estate far from the main roads. The house burned in 1905, and today the whole ensemble is a field of ruins swallowed by forest.
