It oreeginally belangit tae a Easter German faimily, an throuoot maist o its history continued tae be in the haunds o the local aristocracy. When Estonie proclaimit its unthirldom in 1919, sweepin laund reforms remuivit amaist aw Easter German faimilies frae thair estates, as wis the case in Lohu an aw.
