History
Built in 1786 as a gift for Skithan captain, Tomaha Sandan, the Sandans would be influential in the local area, growing sugar and tobacco on the estate's 50 acres with an enslaved workforce of over 75 slaves, until the Barretoan Wars which left the estate in abandonment until a Quetanan ilhéu by the name of Bernardo Mariano would buy the estate in 1853 and renovate as much of the estate with his brothers José and Ronaldo. The Marianos would live on the estate for 50 years until financial hardships and local troubles plagued them, forcing them to sell the estate in 1903 to the Quetanan-Wallene painter, naturalist, and collector Junior do Salvador. Do Salvador would make the house a travellers' lodge and would prominently house Gabriel Altmann, a Drambenburgian Dreherite pastor and author that would become a member of the Lower Chamber of Wallenland; Arnold Paine, a Zamastanian whaler-turned-magician and comedian; Josias o Sangrento, a Wallene outlaw, gang leader, and free-ranger; and Artur Pereira, another Wallene painter and photographer. In 1915, delegates from the Liberals and Conservatives, as well as two Republican delegates: vice-president Otto Bartsch and commander Caim Fernandes, met at Sandan Manor to conclude the Wallene Civil War successfully; the talks ended with the recognition of Bajàgagíarata pā Wālolénlò as queen and the establishment of the Grand Assembly. a democracy. Caim and his brother Abel Fernandes would work and live at the estate. Do Salvador would die in 1940 from old age, leaving the estate to the Fernandes brothers. The estate would pass onto their sons after Caim's death in 1945 and Abel in 1947 and post-war, the estate would become a popular place for pro-independence Wallens, often being the meeting place for the Libínàs pā Wālolénlòhátoà Alliance. In 1977, the building was registered as a Grade II building in the Wallenland Register of Historic Buildings and in 1980, Adriano Fernandes - the grandson of Abel, sold the estate to the Wallenland Trust.
The 200th anniversary of the building was celebrated in 1986 with series of 200 coins commemorating the anniversary.
Roof renovations were made in 2004 after it had partially collapsed, finishing in early 2005 after being delayed by vandals.
