Tõlluste (German Töllist ) is a village ( Estonian küla ) on the largest Estonian island Saaremaa . It belongs to the rural community Saaremaa (until 2017: rural community Pihtla ) in the Saare district .
Population and location
The village has 48 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2011). It is located twenty kilometers northeast of the island's capital Kuressaare, only a few hundred meters from the Baltic Sea .
Due to its name, the place is popularly associated with the mythical giant of the Saaremaa island, the Suur Tõll . His fingerprints can still be seen today on a stone near the former school building, on which the giant liked to sit and think about his thoughts.
Good Tõlluste
In 1528 the Arries farm was mentioned in a document when Bishop Georg von Tiesenhausen lent it to a Heinrich Köpken. Later a new farm was built on the site "on the Tölsen Land". The current name of the village is derived from this name.
The farm changed hands frequently. In 1590 he was sold to the governor of the island, Matthias Budde . Later it fell to the von Vietinghoff family . From 1788 to 1904 it was owned by the noble Baltic German family Saß . The last private owner before the expropriation in the course of the Estonian land reform in 1919 was the von Sengbusch family . Subsequently, a school was initially housed there, and from the 1970s the summer camp of the local Soviet collective farm . When Estonia regained its independence, the property fell to the municipality. In 2014 it was sold to a Russian cosmetics company.
The simple, long baroque mansion was built in 1747. It was rebuilt in 1820 and a side wing was added. This also gave it a classicist look.
The two-story gardener's house on the estate is also architecturally interesting. The imposing limestone building with its thatched roof and jacket chimney also dates from the middle of the 18th century. The eaves are held in place by a square support pillar.
