Pootsi Podis

Founded in the late 1500s, the manor received from the von Lilienfelds a Classical stone house with a four-column portico, so like Voltveti’s that both are thought to be one builder’s work. From 1856 to 1939 Pootsi belonged to the von Maydells. At the crossroads nearby, an old stone inn still shows its rare geometric stonework.
