The Palace and the Manor Park

The palace and the manor park are part of a former palace and park complex. The palace was built in 1873 at the request of the von Heydebreck family, who likely remained its owners until 1945. It is a Neoclassical building constructed on a rectangular plan. The beautiful front facade is adorned with a risalit. The garden facade also features a risalit and a veranda. The facades are richly decorated with a cornice, a paneled frieze, pseudo-risalits, and pilasters. The palace has two stories, a full basement, and is topped with a hipped roof. The palace’s windows are rectangular and topped with full arches. A beautiful arched driveway leads to the palace. An access road paved with cobblestones and lined with a row of oak trees leads to the estate. The total volume of the palace is 2,660 m³, while its usable area is 930^m². The outbuildings situated around the palace do not follow a specific architectural style.

After World War II, Soviet troops were stationed in the palace. Subsequently, a State Agricultural Farm was established on the estate. Later, the building underwent a thorough renovation and was converted into a public elementary school. In 2000, the palace passed into private hands. Currently, the owners live in the palace and have established an agritourism business there. Numerous events are held here, such as weddings, class reunions, and team-building retreats. Guests can choose from single, double, or triple rooms with full or partial board. Facilities include a sauna, bicycles, a bonfire area, a grill, and access to a smokehouse. Anglers will find this an ideal spot for fishing, as the nearby Chotla River is home to trout and sea trout. A large park covering 12.5 hectares stretches around the palace. The park dates back to the first half of the 19th century. It is a landscape park featuring naturalistic elements and romantic nooks, such as a pond with an island. The park blends seamlessly into the forest. Surrounding the palace are three monumental oak trees (with circumferences of 450, 490, and 560 cm). The palace is open to visitors by prior appointment with the owners. The palace is accessible to people with disabilities. A wide ramp leads to the palace, and there are no stairs at the entrance. However, only the ground floor is accessible.
