Sangaste Manor, Sangaste, Estonia

The first mention of Sangaste Manor date back to the year 1522. The present main building is one of the most gorgeous manor houses in Estonia. The red-brick house, built between 1879-1883, represents the Gothic revival style with English features. It was designed by architect Otto Pius Hippius and the owner of the building throughout its existence as a private house was the scientist Count Magnus von Berg (1845-1938).

There is a park of 75 hectacres surrounding the manor. Today, the castle is a visiting center and serves as the place for wedding ceremonies and welcomes all romantic souls.

Very beautiful English style palace with museum and restaurant

7 eur per person, absolutely nothing to see. Not worth it at all.

Unbelievably poor castle. I cannot believe one would have the courage to charge 7 euros for this. It's dirty, run down and has nothing of interest.

The gardens are really lovely and free to visit. The inside on the other hand are definitely not worth the 7 euros. Inside you will find super weird and dusty rooms with scary stairs to climb up the tower.

Superb interior. Quite good place for romantic night. Did't see hotel rooms, but, the feeling is not from this Century.

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.
