Historic building · 1663
Sadamaait
The harbour storehouse at Veski 9 in Kuressaare was built in 1663 on the old quay of Tori bay, a two-storey building of dolomite blocks that served as a warehouse for centuries. In 1870 the merchant Schmidt turned it into a steam mill, giving Veski ('Mill') street its name, and added a lower wing whose end juts out like a ship's bow. From 1878 to 1915 the Wildenberg tannery also worked on the site. In 2007 the building was blessed as a performance venue, and Kuressaare town theatre staged 'The Pastor of Reigi' here.

Kuressaares Veski tänav 9 asuv sadamaait ehitati 1663. aastal Tori abaja vanale sadamakaile – kahekorruseline dolomiitplokkidest hoone, mis oli sajandeid laohoone. 1870. aastal ehitas kaupmees Schmidt selle ümber auruveskiks, andes nime Veski tänavale, ja lisas madalama hooneosa, mille otsasein ulatub välja nagu laevanina. 1878–1915 tegutses territooriumil ka Wildenbergi nahavabrik. 2007. aastal õnnistati hoone etenduste paigaks ja Kuressaare Linnateater mängis siin „Reigi õpetajat“.
