There will be a well pavillion as seen in this Mimi Kotzebue drawing from 1837.

What other buildings could there be in the future? National Heritage Board allows to build up only ruins of the existing buildings. There are many of them historically documented, but not in the level of architectural details.



Alcohol brewing has been the main economical operations of baltic manors in 18.-19. century. The history of hof Kau brewery is documented in three stages.
