Tourist Attractions & Sightseeing

Tamme downs became world famous in the second half of the 19th century when the Devonian armor plated fish were found there, in the yellowish-brownish sandstone. The upper body of that fish was covered by armored plates and the rest was scaled or naked.

The Dutch windmill in Tamme village has served not only for grinding flour but as a landmark for the fishermen too. There is a rumour about some Swedish being buried there. It was in the 1930s that there were about thousand windmills working in Estonia.
