Purdi Manor

Purdi, Estonia

Purdi manor (Noistfer) has a history that goes back to at least 1560. The current building is a baroque manor house, built in circa 1760-1770 by the von Baranoff family. Some baroque interiors still survive. Additions to the building were made in the 19th century. Several annexes belonging to the estate are still preserved, notably the granary, as well as the baroque burial chapel of the Ungern-Sternberg family, who were the last feudal landlords of the estate.

It’s a beautiful building, there’s a lot to admire, I hope after restoration it will be more accessible to guests. "In the 18th century, the estate became the property of the noble family of the von Baranovs. In the 1760-1770s, the von Baranovs built the stone one-story main building of the estate in the Baroque style, which is still preserved. The main building built at that time consists of a central part with an adobe roof and located at the ends of the lower extensions, the central part of the building probably dates back to the stone buildings of the 17th century. Next to the main building there are a number of stylish 18th-century outbuildings - a barn, stables and stables, a ruler's house and a servant's house - some of them have survived, some are in ruins."

I recalled my childhood, it was nice to be in a camp and to admit that this manor was done ... a former pioneer camp ...

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
