Historically a an area known for fisherman villages, the current centre was formed in 1 9 5 0 s, w h e n Viimsi was an established area of collective farming and fishing industry. The Viimsi landscape is strongly determined by the Viimsi plateau that divides the centre into lower and upper part. The upper part, where the site is located, used to be a farmland till the new developments appeared in the late 1 9 9 0 s and most of all during the last decade when the building boom raised the population from around 6000 to almost 1 7 000 inhabitants.
