Arendole Manor, Manor house in Arendole, Latvia
Arendole Manor is a manor house that displays traditional Latvian rural architecture with symmetrical design, a central entrance, and regularly spaced windows across its facade. The building stands as a protected cultural monument under state protection.
Construction began in 1820, a time when numerous noble estates were rising throughout the Latgale region. This period marked the development of large landholdings that would shape rural society for decades to come.
The manor reflects the social order of the 1800s, when such estates served as centers of local administration and daily life in the region. Its layout shows how owners and workers occupied completely separate areas of the building and grounds.
The building is located near Preiļi and is accessible only by prior arrangement due to its protected status. Visitors should reach out to local authorities in advance to arrange an entry.
The manor has retained its original architectural features since its founding without major alterations, making it a valuable reference for understanding early 19th-century construction methods. This preservation is relatively rare among estates of this era, which often underwent renovations or modernization.
