Key facts about Hellamaa
The Tihuse farm tourism business is located in Hellamaa küla in the municipality of Muhu vald. There are bus stops in Hellamaa küla. Two areas are particularly important for understanding the area: the preserved and former manor estate traces in the landscape, and the cultural and family-oriented activities at Tihuse.
What historical traces are there in Hellamaa?
In Hellamaa, you can find individual preserved buildings connected with the manor estates and the municipality of Hellamaa. In addition, there are sites of former buildings and facilities in the landscape. This distinction is important for visitors: not every historical testimony is present on site as a preserved structure. In some cases, these are remnants; in others, they are places where former buildings or facilities once stood.
The manor estate remnants that can still be found include manor houses, stables, mills and inns. This means that the former manor estate landscape can be viewed not only through a single type of building. The various remnants show the different functions associated with a manor estate. Those interested in regional history can therefore choose Hellamaa as a place where preserved buildings and historical sites in the landscape can be explored together.
The Orthodox congregation of Hellamaa is part of the religious history of the area. It is connected with the Muhu-Hellamaa Pühade Apostlite Peetruse ja Pauluse kirik. In this way, a specific sacred building complements the historical perspective otherwise shaped by manor estates and former facilities.
What can you experience at Tihuse?
A study trail on ancient culture is available at Tihuse for walks. Visitors can explore old traditions along the way. The trail combines outdoor activity with a thematic approach to cultural history, without limiting you to a single building. For travellers who would like to combine a walk with regional content, this study trail is an independent reason to include Tihuse in their day plans.
