Felicianova Manor, Manor house in Cibla, Latvia.
Felicianova Manor is a two-story brick building in the Latgale region featuring Neo-Gothic architectural details. The estate includes several structures beyond the main house, with agricultural buildings that show how the property once functioned as a working farm.
The estate was founded by the Plen family and grew into a significant local center with mills and workshops. Ownership remained in the family's hands until 1944, when the region underwent major political changes.
The manor served as a social hub for the surrounding region, hosting gatherings and local affairs. You can sense this central role in how the buildings are arranged around the main house.
The manor is located in rural Cibla Municipality near the borders of Lithuania and Estonia. Visiting requires a car or organized tour, as the area lacks convenient public transportation connections.
The estate's name has two possible origins: it may derive from Felician, brother of Saint Ignatius, or from an undocumented woman named Felicia. This uncertainty about its naming history makes the manor an interesting case of hidden stories in rural properties.
