About us
Viitna was known already in the Middle Ages. In the 19th century there were fourteen taverns by the route Tallinn-Narva. Taverns were used as post stations, for lodging and people could have their meals as well. |
On the left there was a stable for the horses of the rich folk and two
rooms for the gentry. Now there Now one can eat and buy also some articles of traditional Estonian handicraft. To the right there was a taproom for the poor folk. A hearth was at the base of the chimney. A stable for the poor folk's horses was at this end. |
