Hunting palace

The hunting palace has been constructed in the beginning of the 20th century. Its roof reminds of a pine cone.

The hunting palace is located in a scenic place surrounded by woods.  The palace has kept its unique architectural style throughout the ages.

It is said that a ghost of a girl haunts this place at night.

The hunting palace was built in 1914. The Director of the Baltic Oil Base Baron Fon Zonberhad gave it to his daughter and three sons. The family took leisure trips to the hunting castle.

The interior of the house featured parquet floors, crystal doors, mirror walls and beautiful fireplaces. Each room was unique and individually designed.

All of the sons of the Baron died in WWI. His daughter sold the palace to a wood seller who sold it again. In 1927 the building was bought by the Teacher’s Sickness Insurance Fund and it was transformed into a sanatorium. A sanatorium was established there two more times afterwards. The castle, currently owned by the municipality, has been leased to a private entrepreneur.
