Seli Sellie
Seli was first recorded in 1474, when the vassal Hans von Lode sold it to Pirita Convent. The core of the two-story Baroque limestone house was built in the 1770s under Land Councilor Gustav Erich von Rosen. Damaged by fire in 1905, it was restored in a somewhat altered form. From 1920 to 1985 the house was a tuberculosis sanatorium.
