The oldest building in Mustjõgi was probably the tavern building, which was located along the Paldiski road dating back to the Middle Ages. The tavern site and farm was already called Swartle Bäck in 1585. The same name was found on a 1696 map. This work from 1836 provides a nice artist's impression of the tavern.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
