East of Europe. The island of Saaremaa is a 2-hour drive from the capital Tallinn, by rental car, taxi or public transport. During summer 2005, you have a possibility to reach Oti Manor by taking a flight from Finland (Helsinki Vantaa Airport) or from Sweden (Stockholm Arlanda Airport) to Kuressaare, where you can rent a car. Oti Manor is less than an hour drive from Kuressaare. HISTORY The oldest manor in Saaremaa, Oti (Peudorf in German) was privatized already in the beginning of the 14th century. In these populated and fertile areas, the first fiefdoms were created. The first information concerning Oti manor dates from the year 1309. It seems that in Saaremaa this manor was in the possession of the Order of Teutonic Knights and, until the Jüriöö uprising, the economic unit of Pöide Order castle.
