According to legend, Carl Magnus had the building built for his son Alexander, who as a boy often spent time in a stable and smelled of manure and animals.
It angered the old baron and he said:
“I won’t live in the same house with the smell of urine!”
The building was built in the first half of the 19th century.
The two-story building was probably originally intended as guest accommodation.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a supervisor, a ruler and a writer lived there, and in the meantime also a blacksmith and a dairyman.

In addition, there were several household rooms: an ironing room, a caretaker’s room and a kitchen.
The building is still in use today by visitors – the Palmse guesthouse is located there.
