It is believed that the German Rozenbank of Liepaja led the construction of the palace. Who is the author of the project is unknown. A beautiful park was built around the palace. Platerry’s homestead consisted of three parts: a representative manor core, a garden and a part of the houdehold. The main building consisted of two thirteen-axis facades, which were almost identical, in the center of the mansion – three-sided protrusions, joined by triangular fronts. Columns and pillars supported by huge terraces with balustrades. After the death of Constantine Plater, the manor was inherited by his eldest daughter Olga, whose husband was Iljinsky-Kašauskas living in Poland.

Panų (Mergų) kalnas
Tarp Plinkšių ežero ir Sruojos upės yra istorinis Mergų piliakalnis. Miške, šalia pagrindinio kelio “Telšiai – Seda” maždaug 10 – ajame kilometre stovi kryžius, kuris nurodo keliuką, kuriuo pasukus į miško gilumą atrasime Panų kalną, dar kitaip vadinamą Mergų kalnu (1996 m. gruodžio 23 d. įtraukta į Lietuvos Respublikos kultūros paveldo registrą). Panų kalnas – tai padavimais garsėjanti kalva, apaugusi pušimis, juosiama pelkių (pailga, smėlėta ir pušimis apaugusi kalva, kuri yra apie 210 m ilgio ir 100 – 150 m pločio, šlaitai nuolaidūs, 5 – 6 m aukščio). Apie Panų kalną užrašyta keletą padavimų, bet dauguma jų siejami su švedų puolimais ir savo orumą saugojusiomis žemaičių mergelėmis. Ši vieta gilioje senovėje buvusi labai įtvirtinta; įruošta požeminių urvų – slėptuvių sistema. Kai XVII a. Žemaičių žemę užplūdo švedai ir žiauriai niokojo kraštą, piliakalnio slėptuvėje pasislėpusios apylinkės merginos ir jaunos moterys. Švedai buvę nustebinti, niekur nerasdami jaunų moterų. Tačiau po kiek laiko jiems pavyko susekti slėptuvę. Jie užvertę urvo angą ir palaidoję apie 2000 merginų ir jaunų moterų. Nuo to laiko šis kalnas Mergų kalnu vadinamas. Žuvusiųjų atminimui ant jo pastatyta koplyčia. Piliakalnio papėdėje yra šaltinis, kurio vandeniu žmonės akis gydydavo. Šiandien Panų kalne aukojamos Šv. Mišios. Maldininkai lanko kalnelį, sudeda aplink koplyčią kryžius ir kryželius, kad ir iš šakelių ar vytelių susuktus. Žmonės čia palieka savo rūpesčius, išsako prašymus, aplankę kalnelį jaučiasi dvasiškai stipresni.
Renavo dvaras
Renavo dvaras ir jį juosiantis parkas yra Mažeikių rajono Sedos seniūnijos Renavo kaime. Tai vienas iš įdomiausių ir geriausiai išlikusių prižiūrimų dvaro ansamblių Žemaitijoje. Rašytiniuose šaltiniuose apie Renavo dvarą užsimenama jau XVI a. Dvaro pastatas tada buvo medinis su šiaudiniu stogu. Spėjama, kad nedidelis mūrinis pastatas čia jau turėjo stovėti XVIII a. pabaigoje ar XIX a. pradžioje. Anksčiau šis dvaras buvo vadinamas Gaurų, o vėliau, kai XVII a. pabaigoje jo šeimininkais tapo Renne giminė, dvarui palaipsniui prigijo Renavo pavadinimas. XIX a. pirmoje pusėje Renavo dvarą valdė Antanas Renė, plačiai garsėjęs savo pomėgiu sodininkauti. Po jo mirties dvaras atiteko Eugenijui Renne, o vėliau grafui F. Mielžinskiui, kuris šalia Varduvos upelio gražioje vietoje įkūrė naują apie 6 ha ploto parką (sakoma, kad ,nuvykus į dvaro parką, būtina apkabinti storąją Renavo eglę ir pamatyti Renavo liepą). Apie 1880 m. šlaito viršuje buvo perstatyti jau minėti kuklūs, bet gana puošnūs rūmai. Jie garsėjo vertingomis paveikslų bei antikvarinių meno dirbinių kolekcijomis. Yra žinoma, kad Mielžinskiai itin didžiavosi Europos miestuose pagamintais senovinio porceliano dirbiniais. Sovietmečiu (1980 m.) dvaro rūmai buvo pradėti restauruoti. Rūmuose išsaugota autentiška dvaro laikų bibliotekos aplinka. Joje buvo daugiau kaip 1000 tomų knygų (daugiausia gražiai įrištos, išleistos vokiečių ir lotynų kalbomis). Naujesnėje rūmų bibliotekoje daugiausia buvo XIX a. antrosios pusės leidiniai, daugiausia lotyniški. Šiuo metu rūmai yra restauruoti ir čia veikia Mažeikių muziejaus filialas. Salėse eksponuojami meno kūriniai, veikia kilnojamos parodos. Renavo dvaro rūmuose buvo filmuojamos ir kai kurios populiaraus meninio filmo “Tadas Blinda. Pradžia” scenos.
Žemaitijos nacionalinis parkas
Vos už 35 km nuo Vilos “Dubgiris” yra Žemaitijos nacionalinis parkas su savo perlu – Platelių ežeru. Taip pat verta aplankyti Platelių miestelį su dvaro sodyba, pasivaikščioti puikiai įrengtais parko pažintiniais takais, aplankyti šaltojo karo muziejų (buvusi požeminė raketų paleidimo aikštelė).

Židikų seniūnijoje, 10 km į šiaurės vakarus nuo Sedos yra Raudonoji pelkė. Raudonąja ji vadinama todėl, kad seniau toje vietoje buvęs ežeras.
