Mežmuiža Manor, Gothic Revival manor house in Augstkalne Parish, Latvia.
Mežmuiža Manor is a Gothic Revival country estate built in the early 1800s and located in Augstkalne Parish, Latvia. The main house sits within a larger complex that includes outbuildings, mills, and other functional structures spread across the property.
The estate was built in 1801 by the Lievens family as their country residence. It later converted to an educational institution in 1954 and underwent major restoration work in the early 1990s.
The manor functions as a school today, so its spaces reflect modern educational use rather than historical residence. Local people see it as a civic landmark that serves the community through its current purpose.
The property operates as an active school, which means visiting access is limited and requires advance planning. Contact the school directly to find out if the grounds and buildings can be viewed outside of regular class times.
The grounds contain a 12-hectare park planted with rare tree species including exotic varieties not typical for the region. These botanical specimens suggest the estate owner's interest in collecting unusual plants from different climates.
