Explore Baltic Manors

Find hidden gems in beautiful nature and precious places off the track

We invite you to explore the hinterland

Whether you are a cross-border traveler in Northern Europe or a guest in your own country, we promise you new experiences when visiting the Baltic Manors Landscape around the Baltic Coast in Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. Since there are a few hundred (or maybe even thousands) of historic manor houses around the Baltic Sea, there are even more stories to discover. Each historic house has its own history and character, yet there is a common background and often there is a link between the former agriculture estates and houses, because of the history of the noble families. When entering a Baltic Manor in your region you will get in touch also with the history of many other houses. We provide you with some tours off the beaten track to explore nature and culture on day trips or over-night-tours to see ruins, museums, creative spaces and nice little hotels in historic houses. You will discover new life in olde houses. Find your unique hotel in a Baltic Manor in the region of Northern Kashubia here. When traveling in Northern Germany visit one of the Manor House Hotels in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
