An episcopal fortress (Borkholm castle) used to stand on the island of Porkuni, but today only the gate tower of the fortress remains. Later a manor was built on the island.
These days the tower houses a limestone museum.
The lake around the island occasionally falls dry, this happens when all the water disappears into underground rivers.
