description

Leisu (German Leiso ) has 16 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2011). The place was first mentioned in a document in 1564 as an infeed point .

school

The Leisu schoolhouse was one of the largest primary schools on the island before World War II . With the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Hiiumaa was declared a restricted area. More and more Estonians left the island, so that the building now looks oversized. Later, in addition to the school and library, a small museum of local history moved into the classrooms. The house is a listed building.
