Cirstu palace, Cirsti, Cēsis Municipality

Details:- About 130 km east of Riga in southern Livonia is the former Zirstenhoff (Cirsti) Estate. The estate complex is picturesquely set at the bend of the Ogre River, a tributary of the Duna. Approximately 1 km of shoreline is included in the property. The mansion of Zirstenhoff is an impressive example of the Neo-Gothic design of the 19th century. There is a whole range of elements that reflect this architectural style. The preserved 7-axled main building spreads over a 20×15 m space and is a two-storey structure upon a high basement floor. The 3-axled middle risalit sits forward from the façade.
