Anija Manor

Anija, Estonia

Anija Manor (in German Annia, earlier also Hannijöggi) was first mentioned in 1482, when it belonged to Hermann Zoege. The main building that has been preserved until today was erected by Matthias Staël von Holstein in the first years of the 19th century. Both the front façade as well as the middle part of the back side is decorated with unique stucco boards. The manor complex is one of the best preserved whole architectural ensembles in Estonia. The manor park is unique for the abundance of foreign tree species and has been taken under protection. The building is open for guests.

Anija manor ... I am still in LOVE and the closed cafe could not distort this feeling ... ? No coffee was left ... it was offered as soon as I had entered the main door of the manor ... FIVE STARS And Virgylia Soosaar's exhibition 'Trashart', on the top floor of the manor's barn-event center ... there is no point in talking about it, it must ... itself ... SEE

Saint-Émilion Old Town

Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.

An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.

Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
