Kaimi – Schoolhouse, Sauna and Quail Egg Experiences

• The former schoolhouse of Kaimi in Ilusa is listed as cultural heritage of local significance in Elva Municipality.
• The schoolhouse was completed in 1928 and designed by Nikolai Ovtschinnikov.
• Kaimi saun is a traditional Finnish sauna with space for 15 to 20 people on the sauna benches.
• Kaimi Linnutalu OÜ is located in Kruusaaugu in the village of Kaimi and offers marinated quail eggs with six different marinades.

The former schoolhouse is a prominent point of reference for anyone who wants to get to know Kaimi through its history. In the heritage exhibition, the building is referred to as “Ulila algkool.” Its completion in 1928 and its design by Nikolai Ovtschinnikov give the structure a clear historical context, without implying any present-day use or regular access.

Those interested in local architecture and the development of rural educational sites can give this aspect particular consideration when planning their trip.

Kaimi saun is aimed at travellers who want to combine a sauna session with other opportunities for spending time there. The traditional Finnish sauna has space for 15 to 20 people on the sauna benches. The facilities also include a water basin for cooling off and a fireplace room with a kitchenette.

Outside, barbecue facilities and a large terrace are available. This combination describes various ways to arrange your stay: you can make the sauna session the main focus, use the cooling facilities or spend time in the fireplace room and on the terrace. The listed amenities refer to Kaimi saun; they are not automatically features of every accommodation in Kaimi.

At Avatud Talude Päev 2025, visitors to the Kaimi Linnutalu farm could see domestic birds and rabbits. The programme also included a tasting of new mayonnaise products made from quail eggs, as well as instructions on cooking and peeling quail eggs.

These programme items show another side of Kaimi: alongside the schoolhouse and the sauna, specific foods and insights into a farm also play a role. For your planning, you should understand Avatud Talude Päev 2025 as a programme tied to a specific time. Kaimi Linnutalu OÜ also offers marinated quail eggs with six different marinades.

When looking for accommodation for a trip to Kaimi, you can first decide which focus matters most to you. Are you mainly interested in the former schoolhouse, the sauna or the culinary offerings involving quail eggs?
