Ravila Meks
Ravila was first recorded in 1469, and its owners included the von Rosens, the von Uexkülls, Count Peter von Manteuffel and the von Kotzebues. The single-story Baroque house burned in 1905 and was rebuilt as a two-story Neo-Baroque building. It later housed a folk high school, a technical school and a care home.
