Sagnitz Castle
Sagnitz Castle ( Estonian : Sangaste mõis) is one of the most important examples of Neo-Gothic in the Baltic States. The current building was built from 1879 to 1883 according to plans by Otto Pius Hippius in the neo-Gothic style with influences from the New Tudor style . Some parts of the original interior have been preserved to this day. The castle was unusually modern and had central heating, telephones from 1896 and electric light from 1907.
