Saha Saage
Saha was first recorded in 1349, and its owners included the Taubes, Wrangells, Uexkülls, Stael von Holsteins and Breverns. In the 1800s a single-story Historicist stone house rose on a tall plinth, with a half-hipped roof and arched windows at its center. It was set ablaze in the upheaval of 1905 and never rebuilt.
