Kärde rahumajake

In the south-west corner of Kärde manor park in Jõgeva county stands a small log cabin where, tradition says, the peace treaty between Russia and Sweden was signed in 1661. More likely the treaty was signed in some larger log building, perhaps a threshing barn, and when it decayed, probably in the 18th century, the best surviving logs were used to build this little house. Many rotten parts were replaced in the 20th century, so at best only a few wall logs may actually date from 1661.
