A former limestone mining quarry and the adjacent former Soviet-era prison in Rummu have been turned into Estonia’s “blue lagoon”.
Murru limestone mining quarry was established in 1938. Limestone mining continued during the Soviet occupation and was done by convicts of the adjacent Murru prison until the restoration of Estonian independence in 1991. Once mining was no longer necessary and draining of water was stopped, the quarry filled up with natural water and turned into what has recently become known as “blue lagoon”, with crystal clear water. Abandonment of the quarry happened so fast that even some machinery was sunken along with the building
