Well
At the beginning of the 15th century, a Catholic clergyman named Hennecke Witterock lived on the estate that was named after him. In 1414 he sold the farm, which then fell to the Palivere estate .
In 1760 the Vidruka estate was divided as an independent estate with a mill and a jug from Palivere. Later it belonged as Beigut to the estate of Tagavere . The last private owner before the expropriation in the course of the Estonian land reform in 1919 was the noble Baltic German family Ungern-Sternberg .
The elongated, single-storey stone mansion was not very representative. It was probably built in the 19th century, but was later redesigned several times.
