Kaucminde Manor, Manor in Rundāle Parish, Latvia

The 18th-century Kaucminde Manor features a semi-circular complex of connected buildings designed in the Early Classicism architectural style of northern Europe.

Built around 1780 for Count Peter Ludwig von der Pahlen, the manor was designed by Danish architect Severin Jensen and underwent major modifications in 1912.

The manor served as a women's home economics school and later housed a technical school, representing different periods of Latvian educational development.

The estate is currently undergoing restoration with plans to include a museum displaying three historical periods, hotel accommodations, and a café.

The horseshoe-shaped architecture of Kaucminde Manor stands as the only example of this structural design among Latvian manorial estates.
