The dead old pine is a signposted historic site near Koitsanlahti manor. According to the source blog, unruly peasants were tied to it as punishment during the estate era. The site is linked to peasant unrest in the 1770s and 1780s and the uprising of 1783.
The estate passed into Russian imperial ownership after the Treaty of Uusikaupunki in 1721. Yrjö Harmainen led the peasants' resistance to estate demands.
