Ungurmuiža Manor, Baroque wooden manor in Raiskums Parish, Latvia
Ungurmuiža Manor is a wooden manor house from the 18th century in Raiskums Parish with two floors and decorated interior rooms. The building preserves traditional construction methods and spatial arrangements of the period along with its original decorative details.
Baron von Kampenhausen commissioned this wooden manor house in 1732 as a family residence in the Raiskums region. The estate remained in family hands for generations afterward.
The interior walls display original paintings by Georg Dietrich Hinsch showing artistic styles and details from 18th-century Baltic German life. These works reflect the tastes and interests of the noble family who lived here.
The manor is open Wednesday through Sunday with guided tours offered in Latvian, Russian, English, and German. Check ahead for tour availability to make the most of your visit.
A wooden Tea House pavilion built in 1753 stands in the oak-filled park, representing one of the few surviving 18th-century wooden park structures in Latvia. This small building shows how nobles enjoyed leisure spaces within their estates.
