Anija Manor, Anija, Estonia

Anija Manor (in German Annia, earlier also Hannijöggi) was first mentioned in 1482, when it belonged to Hermann Zoege. The main building that has been preserved until today was erected by Matthias Staël von Holstein in the first years of the 19th century. Both the front façade as well as the middle part of the back side is decorated with unique stucco boards. The manor complex is one of the best preserved whole architectural ensembles in Estonia. The manor park is unique for the abundance of foreign tree species and has been taken under protection. The building is open for guests.

Anija manor ... I am still in LOVE and the closed cafe could not distort this feeling ... ? No coffee was left ... it was offered as soon as I had entered the main door of the manor ... FIVE STARS And Virgylia Soosaar's exhibition 'Trashart', on the top floor of the manor's barn-event center ... there is no point in talking about it, it must ... itself ... SEE

Veel renoveerimata vana hõnguga mõisahoone. Pakutakse huvitavaid elamusi. Vaata infot ürituste kavast. Samuti mõnusad maitsed kohvikust.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
