Pidula Piddul
Legend says a leper shelter stood here as early as 1240, possibly giving the place its name. Soon after the Great Northern War a single-story stone Baroque house went up, passing to the von Tolls in 1772 and staying theirs until 1919. An ancient hillfort rises in the park, and three kilometers away stands a water mill from 1809.
Built / first recorded c. 1728
Style Saaremaa Baroque
Condition Awaiting rescue
German name Piddul Today
Restoration of the long-abandoned house has begun but is far from finished.
