At the end of the 1970s, two of the three windmills on Ninase were rebuilt as man and woman (MAMMA and PAPA; PIRET and TOLL). Mark Soosaar perpetuated them in a film called "Puhapaevamaalijad" ("Sunday Painters") that spoke about amateur artists. The builders were men from Tagaranna, Heino Pitt and Aleksander Travis, but according to Sass the idea came from Soosaar.

At firsts, the windmills were built because of the film only, but they became so popular both amongst tourists and newly-weds. Young couples brought stones with their names and wedding date to MAMMA ie. PIRET, and it became a tradition. Therefore, it was tried to keep the statues in order in the future as well.

Also, the doings of SUUR TOLL, the ancient here of Saaremaa, were connected with the neighbourhood of Mustjala. One of the old legents associates the naming of NINASE ("nina" in estonian = "nose") with TOLL. When Toll had finished building the Mustjala church he went to the sea, lay down and stayed there to make sure that the Devil didn't come to destroy the church. After the church was blessed, Toll had put his head on a stone and fell asleep. The folks didn't tell whether Toll;s head was too hard or the stone was very soft. But when waking up, Toll had found that his nose had pressed a big hole in the stone. He had call out with surprise: "Oh, what a big ninaase (nose mark)!" This is now NINASE got its name.
