Mazjumprava mõis

Mazjumprava mõis is a manor complex situated along the Daugava River banks in Riga with multiple structures displaying traditional architectural features. The site includes a restored water mill building and scattered ruins of older constructions spread across the grounds.

The manor was founded in 1259 and initially known as Blumendal after being granted to Cistercian nuns of St. Jacob's Church by Archbishop Albert. In spring 1700, Swedish forces defeated Saxon troops during a Great Northern War battle at the Daugava River crossing point on the grounds.

The manor served as an administrative and agricultural center, reflecting the social structure and economic activities of the Latvian nobility through the centuries.

The site is accessible via the cycling path connecting central Riga to the Darzini district, making it easy to reach. The terrain is relatively flat and walkable, allowing visitors to explore the grounds and remaining structures without difficulty.

The water mill building has been restored and stands as one of the few surviving examples of medieval mill architecture along the Daugava. This structure demonstrates the technical sophistication and economic importance that water power held for the estate's operations.
