Svitene Manor, Manor house in Svitene, Latvia
Svitene Manor is a classicist building with balanced proportions and a formal facade featuring symmetrical windows. The main entrance is marked by columns that extend across two stories of the structure.
The building was constructed in 1801 for Johann-Martin von Elmpt and passed through several owners over time. It became state property during Latvia's agricultural reforms of the 1920s.
Today the manor functions as a local art and music school, bringing creative activities to the community. This use reflects its historical role as an educational center since the early 1900s.
The manor is open to visitors throughout the year and guided tours take you through the historical rooms and surrounding grounds. It is helpful to check in advance about specific programs or hours, especially if visiting with a group.
The von Elmpt family, who owned the manor in the early 1800s, filled its rooms with a large collection of valuable paintings. This artistic collection shaped the character of the residence for generations.
