Odziena Manor

Odziena Manor is a Gothic Revival manor house in Vietalva Parish, located in the Vidzeme region with a stone facade, multiple towers, and large windows typical of 1860s architecture. Recent renovations have included a new roof on the west wing, restored state rooms, and conversion of former outbuildings into guest accommodations.

The estate changed hands in 1625 when King Gustav II Adolf granted it to Colonel Johann Reinhold Streiff von Lauenstein from the Tīzenhauzen family. This transition marked a significant shift in ownership and shaped the property's subsequent development in the region.

The manor grounds feature a working brewery housed in a restored mill-bakery building, where local Odzienas Alus beer has been produced since 2014. Visitors can experience the blend of historical craft tradition with contemporary production at this location.

The grounds are accessible and offer accommodation in converted outbuildings for visitors planning an extended stay. Check conditions and availability before visiting, as the property operates as a working estate with an active brewery on site.

Archaeological evidence shows that humans inhabited the site from the Iron Age, between the 5th and 7th centuries. This long history of settlement predates the manor itself and reveals the location's deep roots in the region's past.
