At the beginning of the twentieth century, enterprising businessmen began erecting boarding houses in Võsu which offered other additional services besides renting out rooms. The best known and most highly valued was Langsepp’s Boarding House (‘Langsepa pansionaat’ in Estonian) on Mere street (‘sea’ in Estonian) with its beautiful park and gorgeous sea views. The owner was the man behind Võsu’s school and local social life, the merchant Eduard Langsepp. At the holidaymakers’ disposal were a two-story log house, one part of which housed a storage area, and a bath house on the beach where one could enjoy a therapeutic bath. In 1924, famous Estonian writer Eduard Vilde stayed at Langsepp’s Boarding House with his wife, mainly focusing on revising his work. Vilde arrived in Võsu on a cruise ship. Stepping from a boat straight into a horse-drawn carriage that had come to pick up him and his luggage from right there in the water, Vilde apparently noted that he had ridden many different kinds of vehicles in his life, and yet this was his first time riding a carriage in the sea. Following nationalisation, the buildings were employed by the Soviet army and, starting from 1944, the complex housed the army’s local headquarters with a large alarm bell right in front of the building, while a health unit was located in the outbuilding. In the 1990s the rural municipal government authority sold the building, following which the boarding house was torn down.
