Mõisaküla – History, concert day and farm activities

Mõisaküla first belonged to Uugla Manor and later to Oru Manor. The 8th Linnamäe concert day travelled through Soolu, Saunja, Vedra, Mõisaküla and Linnamäe in 2025. The distances between venues were manageable by bicycle. At Open Farm Day 2026, Urge talu and Raudsepa talu offered different garden experiences: scheduled tour times at Urge talu and all-day flower-field tours at Raudsepa talu.

The eighth edition of the recurring Linnamäe concert day was spread across several villages. One ticket allowed visitors to attend all the concerts. Visitors could go to all five villages and farms or choose individual concerts. This edition therefore offered two options: experience the programme across all the venues or select specific concerts.

As the 2025 event logistics showed, a bicycle was a convenient way to travel between venues. At every venue, home cafés set up specifically for the day were open. They were part of that edition of the concert day, not a permanent café offering. The five villages, the option to choose individual concerts and the possibility of travelling by bicycle together describe the event’s character at the time as a multi-location event.

Mõisaküla’s historical connection to the manors can be briefly outlined in chronological order: the village first belonged to Uugla Manor and later to Oru Manor. This connection sits alongside the more recent event examples, but on its own it says nothing about present-day buildings or opportunities to visit them. Together, the two topics offer different perspectives on Mõisaküla: the succession of manor ownership passed down through history, and the specific programmes in which the village featured in events held across several villages.

At Open Farm Day on 25 July 2026, Urge talu offered guided garden tours at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00. The programme also included a collection of 1:43 scale Mercedes-Benz model cars, with vehicles dating from 1886 to the 1950s. The same programme thus combined a look around the garden with a collection of historic car models.

At Raudsepa talu, tours of the flower field ran all day. In a workshop, visitors could make their own bouquets from wildflowers. Unlike at Urge talu, the tours at Raudsepa were not tied to the four specified times; the opportunity to make a bouquet was an additional activity there. At the Open Farm Days on 25 and 26 July 2026, the host at Urge talu prepared bread and rhubarb cake for visitors. This was part of the event offering.

The 2026 Open Farm Day programme at Urge talu also included activities for children. They were led by the host of Mõisaküla Nurga talu. In addition to garden tours and the car collection, the programme therefore included an activity specifically aimed at children. These activities were part of this particular edition of the event.

In June 2026, it was announced that the Linnamäe concert day was due to take place for the ninth time. Lääne-Nigula Municipal Government awarded the ninth edition project funding of €2,000. The announcement describes the planned edition from the perspective at the time; it is not an account of what actually took place. Together with the documented eighth concert day, it shows that the series was planned to continue over multiple editions.
