The first mention of the Buddis Manor (Buddis-mõis) located here dates back to the 18th century. At the end of the 18th century, a distillery opened here, to which the village owes its appearance and growth. Later the village and the manor began to be called Muddis, later they were renamed Moe.
The distillery eventually grew into a distillery, the largest in Northern Estonia. Here, in 1939, the Guinness Book of Records was recorded - alcohol was expelled with a strength of 98 degrees. The factory, owned by Onistar AS today, is still operational. It runs the Museum of the Production of Alcohol in Estonia. In addition to Moe Manor, there are two attractions: a memorial plate installed in the distillation building of the plant in 1985 - half a boulder with the inscription “AQUAVITAE ESTONICA 1485-1985”, dedicated to the 500th anniversary of alcohol production in Estonia and a monument at the military site on April 19, 1977 transport aircraft of the USSR Air Force.
The plane landing at the Tapa airfield hit the pipe of the distillery. As a result of damage, the plane crashed before reaching the airfield about 2.5 km. All 21 people on board died (for more details see: An-24 crash in Moe ).
