Part I of the virtual time travel "VR Toila 1938" takes you on an introductory tour in Oru Park. It is early in the morning and you begin your journey, learning the stories of the construction and renovation of Oru Palace. You enjoy the magnificent time-lapse sunrise and peek into the large dining hall. You end a busy day by watching the sunset in the palace tower.
The world is full of stories of magnificent castles and golden cities that are gone forever. You can read about past times from the books, look at old photos and movies or listen to stories, but have you ever had a chance to step inside the history?
Come on a journey with our VR glasses and get to know the crown jewel of Oru Park, which fate gave only a moment to last. However, the story of the palace is a good example of the multi-layered history of Estonia. We invite you to a journey that will make you feel as if everything is happening here and now.
An adventurous journey through time in July 1938 in the Toila-Oru presidential palace and park has been chosen as the best new adventure of Ida-Virumaa county in 2021!
