However, the whole family did not have time to live in the new Milavida; only the children lived there for a couple of years with the servants. Peter's wife Olga von Nottbeck died while giving birth to twins in Baden-Baden in October 1898, and six months later Peter himself died after caecal surgery at a Parisian hospital. Edvard von Nottbeck, appointed guardian of the children, sold the palace to the city of Tampere in 1905.
