Raikküla Manor

Raikküla, Estonia

The first written record of Raikküla manor date back to the year 1469. Later it has been associated with the von Staals, the Kankrins and the von Keyserlings. The luxurious High-Classicist main building was completed on the foundation of a former building in 1820. After a fire in 1960, the house lied in ruins for a long time. Currently, it is privately owned and being renovated. About a kilometre from the manor's centre is a family graveyard of the von Keyserling's family.

The Raikkulas Manor building is one of the most beautiful examples of classical style in Estonia??. Today, the estate hosts book fairs and summer performances. The restored back staircase of the manor is suitable for concerts. We were lucky the weather was great отлич.

Eestimaa nn täiskasvanute mõis, võimsa energeetikaga kompleks, ürgsete elupuudega ring, paljastatud paekivi mustriga uhkete sammaste ning rõngas_võlvidega paraad_trepiga peahoone koos samas väärtuses ja kaaluga abihoonetega. Vaieldamatu pärl Eestimaa süames!

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
