Purdi Manor, Purdi, Estonia

Purdi manor (Noistfer) has a history that goes back to at least 1560. The current building is a baroque manor house, built in circa 1760-1770 by the von Baranoff family. Some baroque interiors still survive. Additions to the building were made in the 19th century. Several annexes belonging to the estate are still preserved, notably the granary, as well as the baroque burial chapel of the Ungern-Sternberg family, who were the last feudal landlords of the estate.

It’s a beautiful building, there’s a lot to admire, I hope after restoration it will be more accessible to guests. "In the 18th century, the estate became the property of the noble family of the von Baranovs. In the 1760-1770s, the von Baranovs built the stone one-story main building of the estate in the Baroque style, which is still preserved. The main building built at that time consists of a central part with an adobe roof and located at the ends of the lower extensions, the central part of the building probably dates back to the stone buildings of the 17th century. Next to the main building there are a number of stylish 18th-century outbuildings - a barn, stables and stables, a ruler's house and a servant's house - some of them have survived, some are in ruins."

I recalled my childhood, it was nice to be in a camp and to admit that this manor was done ... a former pioneer camp ...

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
