Svitene Manor

The manor house exhibits classical architecture with balanced proportions, symmetrical windows, and a central entrance marked by columns spanning two floors.

Built in 1801 for Johann-Martin von Elmpt, the manor changed ownership multiple times before becoming state property during Latvia's agrarian reforms in the 1920s.

The manor functioned as an educational center since 1921, housing a primary school and library, and currently serves as a local art and music school.

The manor, registered under cultural heritage ID 6191, maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours through its historical rooms and grounds.

The von Elmpt family, who owned the manor in the early 1800s, filled the rooms with an extensive collection of valuable paintings.
