Great little family run restaurant which is currently closed but still open for hungry patrons. Very great hospitality!!!!! The grilled meat, sausages, freshly made salad and house wine were exquisite. Thanks very much.

Tori Mois In the Middle Ages, Tori (German: Torgel) was the main manor of the main administrative office of Pärnu. First mentioned in 1528. The Tory estate belonged to the state for many centuries. After the destruction of the Northern War in 1738, a small archaic wooden main building of the estate was erected. The main building is one of the oldest surviving wooden manor buildings in Estonia. It has been preserved almost in its original form, with the exception of a wing added to the rear in the 19th century and the distribution of window frames changed in the same century. In 1820, the Tori state estate was leased to the Knights of Livonia, who opened a stud farm here in 1854. In the 1850s, a powerful stable complex was built at Tory, whose historic, beautiful gate building dates from 1856. Tory became famous thanks to horse breeding and breeding of Tory horses. Horse breeding, developed in the State Estate, still exists today.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
