Description
The manor-house that was built for count Carl Von Medem is one of the first English Neo-Gothic Style castles in region and supposedly is built after the project of architect F.A.Steler in 1843. The initial interior decorative finish was formed accordingly to the actual style with oaken carved wainscots, ceiling decorations, wood-carvings, stuck mouldings, artificial marble finishes et c. At the time of revolution of 1905 there was a fire and the castle burned out and lost the original interior finish. Later it was renovated, but not in such splendid luxury as it was in its “golden years” in the end of the 19th century and for the present day can be seen in more unpretentious sight. Last renovation works in the castle were done in the period from 1988 to 1993. Of household buildings there have preserved 19th century granary, buttery and gardener’s house. There also is a park with ponds at the manor house.
