This power station, situated in the lower stretch of the J\u00e4gala River, was designed in 1917 by Helsinki University professor A. W. Juselius. Construction began in 1922, with the first energy being produced two years later, in April 1924. Attempts were made by retreating Soviet forces to blow up the station in 1941, but unsuccessfully.<\/p>\n

It was restored in 2002 following its original architectural style, and the power station structures were renovated. A suspension bridge was also erected over the dam across the river with a viewing platform.<\/p>\n

Linnam\u00e4e is the most powerful hydro-electric power station in Estonia, producing electricity for approximately 3,000 households annually.<\/p>\n
