Skangaļi mõis, Manor house in Vidzeme region, Latvia.
Description
Skangaļi mõis is a manor house in the Vidzeme region between Cēsis and Valmiera. The estate features 19th-century Baltic-German architecture and includes restored outbuildings where a museum exhibition is now housed.
History
The von Knieriem family purchased the estate in 1843 and developed it as their summer residence. They held the property for nearly a century before its use changed significantly.
Culture
The name comes from a nearby spring, reflecting the Baltic-German tradition of the region. Visitors can see today how the landed gentry lived and worked during that era.
Practical
The manor is accessible via rural paths and sits in a quiet countryside setting. The main building is visible from outside, though interior access requires advance arrangement.
