The borders of the village extend beyond current dwellings, and so its area is home to several abandoned buildings and their ruins; some from the Soviet era, and some from before.

In late 2015, the ruins of one building near the shore (59.327337°N 24.103941°E / 59.327337; 24.103941 (Laoküla)) were featured in the last scene of a music video to "Faded", a song by the Norwegian DJ Alan Walker.

Laoküla has a station on the Elron western route.
