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 ...

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
