Located in the northern part of Valmiera, the Valmiermuiža Estate mansion (Neo-Baroque Style) was built between 1764 and 1771 by Prince August Friedrich of Schleswig, Holstein and Soderburg. Over the course of time it has been owned by other people. According to modern evidence, the mansion was a one-story building with a Baroque tower and a two-story addition in the early 20th century, which made it appropriate as a summer home and hunting lodge. The building burned down in 1918. Two years later, Valmiermuiža became a prison camp for captured soldiers. Later the addition to the mansion was restored and used as an elementary school. In 1936, the building became a prison, and it was once again a prison camp for captured soldiers during World War II. Later the building burned down again, and the ruins were removed. Still surviving is the Valmiermuiža tower, with ceiling paintings that are a cultural monument, as is the surrounding park. The Valmiermuiža brewery is alongside the historical monument, thus providing second wind for the whole region. |

Ap 100 gadus veca priežu audze, ko iesēja pagājušā gadsimta sākumā. Sēklu materiāls bija nācis no kādas Vācijas (Darmštatē) sēklu tirdzniecības firmas. Mūsu klimatiskajos apstākļos priežu stumbri izauga līki un kroplīgi. Savdabīgā audze labi redzama no šosejas malas.

The first stone castle in Alsunga was built in 1372, starting with the central part of the southern wing. The authorised representative of the Livonian Order, who was subject to a higher-ranking official in Kuldīga, lived here. The guard towers and other parts of the castle were gradually added between the 15th and the 18th century. The Baroque castle with its two towers is quite impressive. The castle is unique in and outside of Latvia in that it is one of the rare Medieval castles to have survived to the present day in part, but in its original historical appearance. The castle offers an exhibition about its history. Visitors can look at a Suiti kitchen, write a letter with a fountain pen in Barbara’s boudoir, or celebrate a special event in the romantic venue of the castle’s round tower. Renovation of the castle began in 2018, and it is closed to visitors. Still, you can look at its exterior and tour its garden. |

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. |
