Good from Partsi
The village was one of the centers of the area over the centuries. The Partsi estate used to be in the village. It was first mentioned in a document in 1591. In 1688 the estate was reduced. It remained a crown property until 1798 . Then it was owned by the noble family Stenbock and later fell as Beigut of Suuremõisa to the family of Ungern-Sternberg .
The simple main building made of wood with its gable roof was built in the second half of the 19th century. Today it serves as a residential building. Some outbuildings and the stump of a windmill are still preserved.
World War I memorial
In the forest of Partsi there is a monument that the villagers erected over the grave site of two nameless Russian soldiers "from the Akmolinsk region" (today Nur-Sultan (until 2019 Astana) ). During the German occupation of Hiiumaas in World War I , they fell into the hands of the imperial troops and were executed on October 20, 1917 on the wall of the manor stable.
