Treski Village Chapel

Setomaa vald, Võru maakond, 64026

The tiny Treski tsässon, or Orthodox village chapel, can go unnoticed as you pass by it, though it is located right on the road. The villagers say that the building was built around the middle of the 18th century. Treski tsässon’s patron saint is St. John the Baptist, and so St. John’s Day is celebrated as a village holiday. Unlike in the rest of Estonia, St. John’s Day is celebrated according to the Orthodox calendar here, so 13 days later. It’s held on 7 July, meaning the party will be held on 6 July. Treski is renowned for its cheerful St. John’s Day celebrations.

Räpina flour mill

The longest river in Estonia, the Võhandu River, is calm when it reaches Räpina, and therefore it was probably the most suitable place for building a unique mill complex comprising three mills.The flour mill is a massive stone building with a large winch on the top floor for lifting bags. The original doors and many other details integral to the overall design have been preserved. The flour mill was built at the end of the 18th century.
