Abgunste Manor was built around the 1780s, but was burnt down in 1905. The reconstruction began in 1908 and was completed in 1931 when the manor became the Castle of Light - the Abgunste School. Today the manor has become a place of creativity for all kinds of arts, culture, contemporary design, events, accommodation and celebration of life.
