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

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
