In 1827, under the supervision of Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, the baseline of Simuna-Võivere was measured. The end point of the baseline in Võivere is marked with a limestone foundation. The measurement of the Simuna-Võivere baseline is part of the measurement of the meridian arc performed in 1816–1855, the aim of which was to find out the size and shape of the Earth.
