The two guardians (the figures of rural people) is located beside the windmill in Partutovice village.
The wooden windmill on a slope southwest of local church was built in 1837 and used for rough-grinding for the last time shortly after the Second World War. It used to be called Maršálkuv vetrák (Maršálek's Windy) after its owner. In 1990s, the mill was completely restored and put into operable condition. The original milling machinery is covered with interesting carvings. The mill is open as a private family museum.
