Description

A captivating journey through time! Immerse yourself in this virtual tour of July 1938 at the Toila-Oru Presidential Palace. Tailored for culture enthusiasts and those eager of new experiences.
VR Hisotry Time Travelling Experience “VR Toila 1938” offers two virtual tours.

You can read about world wonders and revolutionary events in books or look at pictures, but can you be present in history yourself?

The world is full of stories about magnificent buildings that have been lost forever. In Estonia, specifically in Eastern Estonia, there is a park that is a significant memory landscape.

Russian multimillionaire Grigori Jelissejev built a magnificent summer house on the seaside cliffs in the late 19th century, which came to be known as Oru Palace. Due to the twists of history, and let's be honest, a dose of family drama, the palace became the summer residence of the Estonian head of state from 1935, namely of the later first President of Estonia, Konstantin Päts.

The palace was a gift from industrialists to the head of state and was meant to symbolize the flourishing future of the young country. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. The beautiful gem on the banks of the Pühajõe River was destroyed in the Second World War, and Estonia lost its independence.

So, we invite you to join us on a virtual time travel where the wind gently sways the leaves of young lime trees and gently, almost barely, moves the petals of the flowers blooming in the rosary. The smell of flowering roses enchants walkers in the garden, and there, on the edge of the bank overlooking the sea, stands a magnificent pink-white building. No one yet asks, 'But where was it?'

Highlights

  • Immerse yourself where history unfolds – right where the palace once stood.
  • The past comes alive outdoors
  • Step into the past: two eras of a significant memory landscape
