Most of the information given about Mäeküla Manor, the location of Mäeküla piimamehe, corresponds to Karjaküla Manor in Keila Parish at the time, which a large part of the characters in the novel are based on. Vilde's parents worked at this manor, and Vilde himself visited them several times, staying there for long periods in 1882–1883, 1886–1887, and 1892–1893. During those visits, Vilde got to know the life and situation there in detail.[2]
