Veltsi Weltz
Veltsi became an independent manor in 1709, when it was split off from the lands of Neeruti. In the early 1900s it belonged to the Dehn family. The two-story fair-faced brick house probably dates from around the turn of the 20th century. Its shallow roofs and arched windows point to the Neo-Renaissance.
