Baltā mõis, Manor house in Ilguciems district, Riga, Latvia

The Baroque style manor house stands at the end of Balta Street, positioned near the edge of Spilve meadows in the Ilguciems neighborhood.

Hermann Dahl, a state councillor from Saaremaa island, acquired the manor in 1767 from the widow of former Riga mayor Hermann Witte von Nordeck.

The manor hosted a significant meeting in 1860 to discuss the establishment of a Society of Latvian Literature, despite opposition from German communities.

The original manor buildings no longer exist, as they were destroyed in 1944, but the main causeway of the former manor park now forms part of Balta Street.

The property included Italian-style terraces and planned gardens, documented in detailed drawings by chronicler J.C. Brotze in 1793.
