Kõrboja

Kõrboja is a village in Estonia. It lies in the eastern part of the country and is part of a rural municipality. The village is small, with fields and forests surrounding dispersed houses along local roads.

Historically, Kõrboja reflects the common pattern of Estonian rural settlements, where agriculture and forestry have been the main activities. Like many villages, it experienced changes during the 20th century related to land reforms, economic shifts, and population movement, but it continues to maintain a rural character and community life.

In Estonian culture, Kõrboja is notably associated with the literature of August Kitzberg, who set his well-known work Kõrboja peremees (The Master of Kõrboja) in the area. The work is considered part of the national literary heritage and has contributed to the cultural image of the village and its surrounding region.

Today, Kõrboja remains a small, peaceful rural community with the landscape characteristic of eastern Estonia—open farmland, pockets of woodland, and residential stretches connected by local roads. It exemplifies the enduring presence of village life within the broader Estonian countryside.
