Kleistu muiža

The wooden residential building of Kleistu Manor features detailed wall paintings depicting scenes from Riga, Italy, and allegorical representations of continents.

The manor dates back to the 17th century when it was known as Kleissen oder Bergshoff before being renamed Kleistenhof and granted to Matias Brāder.

The Fēgezaku family, prominent patricians of Riga, acquired the manor in the late 18th century and enhanced its interior with luxurious decorations.

The manor complex consists of three residential buildings: the main manor house, the owner's auxiliary house, and the tenant's residence at Kleistu Street 37.

The Institute of Microbiology of the Latvian Academy of Sciences repurposed sections of the manor for housing after significant post-World War II renovations.
