From 1897 to 1899, the Petersburg businessman Grigori Eliseyev had the Oru Palace built in Toila. The gigantic building with 57 rooms stood in a spacious park with native and exotic tree species. The luxurious construction cost five million rubles. In 1935, major Estonian industrialists acquired the property and gave it to the Estonian President Konstantin Päts as a summer residence. It was completely destroyed in 1941 during the Second World War; only the park and the terrace remain.
