Zaļenieki Manor, Baroque manor in Zaļenieki, Latvia.

The manor building, designed by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, extends across a 27-hectare landscape park with ponds and ornamental lakes.

Duke Ernst Johann von Biron initiated the construction of the manor in 1766, marking the beginning of a new architectural period in Courland.

The central hall contains wall paintings under multiple paint layers, with ceiling decorations featuring illusory frames in Empire and Renaissance styles.

The former aristocratic residence now functions as a vocational secondary school, maintaining its educational purpose since the 1920 nationalization.

The structure represents the first significant early classical architectural model in Courland, combining Late Baroque and Classicism elements.
