The construction of the state began in the early 20th century. The mansion was built of bricks and fieldstones between 1905 and 1911 in the styles of Historicism and Art Nouveau. The estate was owned by engineer and professor Stanislav Kerbedz from St Petersburg, the first Russian engineer to develop principles for the architectonic aspects of bridges. These were used during the latter half of the 19th century, and Kerbedz led the construction of the Nikolayev bridge across the Neva River in St Petersburg. Kerbedz’s wife, Yevgenia, was well known as a lover of art, and she brought various art objects to the estate from Italy. The Lūznava Estate was a popular place for gatherings of artists during the summers. Among those to visit was the distinguished Lithuanian painter and composer Mikalojus Čiurlionis. The estate is surrounded by a 23.7 ha landscape park with a system of ponds. Near the estate is a statue of the Madonna, which was carved by an unknown Italian artist. The statue was damaged and thrown into a pond during World War II, but it was restored in 1991. Reconstruction of the main building of the estate was complete in 2015, and today it is a modern and international centre for environmental education and the arts. |

Dabiskā zemesragā starp Lielo un Mazo Ludzas ezeru 14. gs. beigās slejās seno latgaļu koka pils, kuras vietā Livonijas ordenis uzcēla Latgales varenāko mūra pili. Tā bija iespaidīga trīsstāvu celtne kvadrāta formā ar sešiem torņiem, trīs vārtiem un divām priekšpilīm. Pēc krievu iebrukuma Latgalē 1481. g., Ludzas pili atjaunoja 1525. g. 1654. g. to atkal izposta Krievijas cara Alekseja Mihailoviča karaspēks. Jau 18. gs. no pils bija palikušas tikai drupas, kas arī mūsdienās ir ļoti iespaidīgas un ainaviskas (ar skatu uz Lielo Ludzas ezeru un baznīcu torņiem). |

The Livonian Order built a castle made of bricks and fieldstones in this location in 1253. The building measured 72 x 40 metres and had a three-story residential area and a gate tower at its centre. An entrance for soldiers was installed at the height of the second floor of the fortified wall during the 14th century, with barriers and four bastions installed during the 16th and 17th century. Legend has it that the daughter of a knight was bricked into the wall and that there was once a secret underground passage to the Lutheran church that is 200 metres away. The park includes the “Ancient Seashore” promenade, featuring plaques with quotes from Zenta Mauriņa and Jānis Rainis. |

This estate is an unexpected surprise in this place and date. Work on the castle began in themed-18th century, and it was rebuilt one century later. During the first half of the 20th century the castle hosted an elementary school, and during the Soviet occupation it was an apartment building. Today the castle has been reborn in terms of form and content in the direct and indirect sense. The Mountain Holiness Community works here. During the summer, there are children's camps and other events. The old stairs, window shutters and brass door hinges are all original. A church is being built on the site. The Renaissance-style garden can be visited. Contact the estate in advance for a tour of the interior of the castle an church in the company of local residents who will tell you all about the history of the estate and its garden. 300 m to the south-west of the estate is the Brukna Castle Hill, which is hard to see in situ and even harder to access. |

The estate in Milzkalne that is along the banks of the Slocene River dates back to the 15th century, when it was built as a closed complex for the Livonian Order. It is the only fortified estate of its type to have survived to the present day, and it was once used as a hiding place for aristocrats during an attack. The gate towers with their ornate weather vanes were built in the late 17th century, and the ancillary buildings date back to the 18th and 19th century. A brick wall with firing apertures survives. The Latvian Road Museum is in one of the wings of the complex, while the former mansion offers accommodations, tours and tastings of local goodies. |

The Baisogalo Estate is one of the oldest ones in Lithuania and is known as a royal castle because it once belonged to the local lord. The ornate late-Classicism buildings were built in the mid-19th century and have survived. The 12 ha landscape park dates back to the early part of the 19th century, with an alley of chestnut trees leading to the estate from the local village. The central alley that starts at the gate weaves through two curvy bodies of water with a bridge and statues of lions. Various trees behind the estate are alongside curvy and narrow pathways. On both sides of the alleys are bodies of water, and deep in the park is a pond with an island. |

Braucot cauri Kaives ciemam, var pievērst uzmanību Kaives muižas „atliekām”. Vietas vēsture ir sena, jo jau 1440. gadā Livonijas ordeņa mestrs piešķīra šeit īpašumu Johanam Kaivenam. Kungu māja gāja bojā 1905. gadā, bet pārvaldnieka ēku nopostīja 2. pasaules kara laikā. 1956. g. nodega kalte, bet pirms trijām desmitgadēm - muižas krogs. Līdz mūsdienām palikusi tikai 1861. gadā celtā magazīna (sarkana ķieģeļu ēka) pakalnā un tai blakus esošais parks, kurā izveidots neliels skulptūru dārzs, estrāde un atpūtas vieta. |
