Here you can see the preserved equestrian yard, carriage barn, Church of the Nativity of the Virgin - all these buildings of the XVIII century. But the highlight of the Gothic manor is the bridge over the pond in the style of late pseudogothic, decorated with openwork white stone colonnade, which has been preserved to this day.
