Sventes Muiža

Latvia


Count Michael Plater-Ziberg, a scion of Latgale's most prominent aristocratic family, had just two years before WWI broke out to enjoy the grand estate house he built for himself 13km west of Daugavpils. It's now a welcoming countryside hotel with a good restaurant and, slightly off-topic, a museum of WWII vehicles and tanks. The grounds are park-like.
