A very impressive ensemble that is in terrible shape. The estate dates back to the 18th and 19th century, with the castle being built in the early 19th century. Half a century later it was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style with symmetrical towers and bricks in the cornices. The estate belonged to the Manteufel-Stzege dynasty. The vestibule, stairwell and second floor hall still have ornamental ceiling paintings, but visitors are not allowed to enter the building, so they cannot be seen. Valuable interior design elements include a fireplace from the early 19th century that is decorated with marble elements. After the expropriation of the castle in 1920 and until 1951, the building housed a forestry school and then an agricultural crafts school. Opposite the castle was the stable of the state that was built in the style of Classicism with a pediment and mighty columns. Built in the early 19th century, the stable is no longer used and can only be viewed from the outside. A very much overgrown park surrounds the complex, and the hillock is the grave of one of the baron’s dogs.

The Forest Trail leads down from the highest point of the Haanja Upland. The most important sight on this route is the Suur Munamägi Hill – 318 m above sea level. The highest point of the Baltics with its observation tower provides its visitors with a splendid 50 km range view of the Estonian nature. The 150 year-old western taiga spruce forests grow on the slopes of Suur-Munamägi. Further on the trail circles around the southern part of Lake Vaskna, and continues down small country roads surrounded by solitary homesteads and small clusters of farms. The route ends in a small village, Tsiistre, where the Linen Museum is located. The museum has a collection of folk linen. Flax is one of the oldest cultural plants in Estonia and a few decades ago, blue flax fields were a common sight in southern Estonia. |

In the small town of Pļaviņas, at the place where the Skanstupīte River flows into the Daugava (Friendship Park), there are the remnants of a set of small and low fortifications known as the Swedish bastions. This was a place of military and political importance, because here was the place where the boundaries of Vidzeme (under Swedish rule), Latgale (under Polish rule), and the Duchy of Kurzeme (on the opposite side of the river) all came together. In 1625, the Swedes were defeated by the Poles here, and Swedish King Gustav Adolf almost lost his life. Medieval bastions of this kind can be seen in some other places of Latvia, as well.
