Abgunstes Manor is a restored building just one and a half hours away from Riga. There we had a photo printing workshop and a tour around the manor. 

At the manor, visitors have the change to book photoshoots, have their weddings, enjoy short excursions in their unique rooms or even play an escape room game.⁠⠀
