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.

Dryburgh Abbey

Dryburgh Abbey on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders was founded in 1150 in an agreement between Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, and the Premonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbey in Northumberland. The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place in 1152.

It was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly surviving until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland. It is now a designated scheduled monument and the surrounding landscape is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

David Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
