Blankenfeldes manor is a manor on the Latvian - Lithuanian border. It was first mentioned in cronicles in the late 1680-ties, and after some time it gained the fame as a unlucky, haunted place. Through years the manor went from hand to hand and changed several owners, untill finally it came in the kin of Hahn's posession, where it remained till the reforms in the 1920, when the Germans were demanded to return in Germany. Hahn's family cronicles let the historians know, why people thought this place hounted.
Official status
Today, Blankenfeldes manor is a historical and cultural monument, having the Blue flag. However, unofficially, it is also the capital of all ghosts and is said to be the most terribly haunted place in the Baltic region. It is also a popular excursion place, where people go in winter to experience real manor life and a taste of baron's supper in candlelight.
