Arussaare has been the location of the Arussaare state manor (Arrosaar). In 1854, the granary of the manor was given to local Orthodox congregation. Between 1871 and 1873, a new stone church was built on the site of the manor, and was dedicated to the Ascension of Christ. In 1920, a new cemetery was established beside the church.

The northern part of the village contains an ancient offering stone and an offering spring, Uduallikas ("Fog Spring").
