New Life in the Old Mill

Once upon a time, the mill was an important meeting place. Sitting around while waiting for grain to be milled into flour was an excellent opportunity to discuss world affairs. Saaremaa Veski in Kuressaare is now once again the place for all kinds of meetings. Instead of flour, the mill now makes schnapps that is so popular, all of it is sold in-house with none left over to sell elsewhere. The restaurant’s ethnic dishes look impressive and literally taste historic.

In the evening, the mill can be seen and heard from far away thanks to the light installations on the old walls and the accompanying music. The Old Mill is now living a completely new and wholly modern life.
