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

Rasa Veiliņa (2 years ago)
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.

Laura Wagenaar (2 years ago)
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.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
