In 1737, Jaan, a peasant from Virumaa wrote to the Empress Anna I (ruled 1730-1740) complaining about his landlord. An answer, the Rosen Declaration arrived from Otto Fabian von Rosen, a Livonian district magistrate, stating that peasants were property of the manor and like all property the landlords could "sell peasants, bequeath, exchange," - in reality they could even impose appalling cruelties.
So… the era of slavery began in Estonia.
The cache is located in Mäetaguse village, near the Rosen’s chapel.
