Driving on the road Cēsis – Liepa – Mārsnēni, 6 km after Liepa, on the right side of the road, a manor building complex is seen with red tiled roofs, paved paths and lanterns.
The buildings are surrounded by the old park of the manor, where 100-year-old elms, maples, larches and big oaks, as well as a fruit garden grow.
The owner of the Skangaļi manor is The Salvation Army. The 8.5 m wooden cross and The Salvation Army flag, flying next to the flags of Latvia and Sweden testifies to this.
