Why: Daugavpils region is a land of manors. Chervonka is its most precious jewel. With intriguing Neo-Gothic architecture and magnificent park that surrounds it, this manor is one of the most beautiful sights of the region. More fit for an English landscape than Latvian countryside, Chervonka is an amazing idea for a weekend trip.
