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 badly maintained castle, thought has potential. Not worth to come from far, unless if you pass by. Didn't stay in the hotel.

If I could, I would put zero. we arrived, there is a guy in front of us who doesn't understand English, I was even ready to speak Russian. Therefore, if you go there, be prepared that you won't get past the gate if you don't know Estonian.

This castle servers as hostel. It’s small inside, not much to see inside, also view from the upper tower is not interesting. It’s very nice from outside though. Definitely not worth 7 EUR entrance fee.

Cštle grounds are not very well kept.Entrance to the park is 3 eur but if you want to visit also castle than ticket is hefty 15 eur. Not worth it.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
