Raikküla Manor, Raikküla, Estonia

The first written record of Raikküla manor date back to the year 1469. Later it has been associated with the von Staals, the Kankrins and the von Keyserlings. The luxurious High-Classicist main building was completed on the foundation of a former building in 1820. After a fire in 1960, the house lied in ruins for a long time. Currently, it is privately owned and being renovated. About a kilometre from the manor's centre is a family graveyard of the von Keyserling's family.

The Raikkulas Manor building is one of the most beautiful examples of classical style in Estonia??. Today, the estate hosts book fairs and summer performances. The restored back staircase of the manor is suitable for concerts. We were lucky the weather was great отлич.

Eestimaa nn täiskasvanute mõis, võimsa energeetikaga kompleks, ürgsete elupuudega ring, paljastatud paekivi mustriga uhkete sammaste ning rõngas_võlvidega paraad_trepiga peahoone koos samas väärtuses ja kaaluga abihoonetega. Vaieldamatu pärl Eestimaa süames!

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
