Stukmaņi Manor, Manor house in Klintaine Parish, Latvia
Stukmaņi Manor is a stone manor complex located on the banks of the Daugava River in Latvia's Vidzeme region. The property includes multiple structures that represent different building periods and architectural approaches from several centuries.
The estate began in 1601 when K. Schroeder took ownership and later passed to H. Kronstern, who gained royal approval from Sweden's Queen Christina in 1652. The property underwent significant changes afterward that affected its current appearance.
The name reflects deep ties to the local region and its Latvian heritage that shaped the estate over centuries. You can observe how the buildings sit naturally within the river landscape and still convey the living patterns of families who once inhabited them.
This protected architectural monument welcomes visitors who want to study historical construction methods and regional building styles from different periods. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk across multiple buildings and the grounds extend along the river bank.
The oldest building on the grounds, Sikadeli, was built in the 17th century and demonstrates early Latvian construction techniques rarely seen elsewhere in northeastern Europe. This structure survived wars and fires and remains one of the few surviving examples of construction methods from that period in the region.
