Nature and History at Oru Park

Oru Park, established in 1899 by Grigory Yeliseyev, showcases a rich blend of nature and history. Originally built around a grand palace, the park is today a serene escape.

Oru Park was developed as part of a grand estate that served as a summer residence for the Estonian president in 1935. The palace was destroyed during World War II, but today, visitors can explore the carefully maintained 75-hectare park, extensive pathways, and rich flora.
