The history of the area dates back to the establishment of the manor in the 1620s. The present main building conveys a different impression from the period in which the manor was founded: it is a small, simple wooden building with a gabled roof dating from the second half of the 19th century. For travellers who want to place historical sites in context not merely through a single date but across different periods, Partsi offers several points of reference.

The memorial sites include the grave of two Russian soldiers. It lies in a pasture by Partsi Manor, about 100 metres from the Kärdla–Heltermaa road. At the beginning of the 1920s, local residents placed a memorial stone there. Near Partsi, a battle also took place on 19 and 20 October 1917 between German imperial troops and a unit of a rifle regiment retreating from Hiiumaa.

Coming from Heltermaa, Partsi mägi is the first steeper ascent along the road. At the same time, Partsi mägi is designated as a notable landscape feature in the Palade–Partsi area. Travellers who want to consider characteristic landforms alongside culture when planning their trip will find a clearly defined focal point here.

The Partsi Windmill combines architectural history and heritage protection. It was built from limestone in the mid-19th century and belongs to the Dutch mill type. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 10 September 1999. The Partsi Windmill complex is used as an event venue. For travel planning, it is useful to distinguish between the building's historical significance and specific event dates.

If you are looking for a hotel in Partsi, you can first decide which aspect matters most for your stay: the history of the manor and the memorial sites, the windmill or the landscape around Partsi mägi. Partsi is therefore a suitable search destination for travellers who want to include cultural and historical themes and landscape in their trip planning.
