Varakļāni Manor, Classicism manor in Varakļāni, Latvia.

The Varakļāni Manor features symmetrical design elements with classical proportions and stands as a prominent example of late 18th-century architecture in Latvia.

The manor was commissioned by Count Michael von der Borch and constructed between 1783 and 1789 under the direction of Italian architect Vincenzo Macotti.

The building transformed from a noble residence to an educational institution, serving as the Varaklani State Gymnasium from 1921 to 1944.

The manor now functions as the Varaklani Regional Museum and Tourist Information Center, offering visitors insights into local history and architecture.

The structure maintains its original elements from 1789, including specific architectural details that reflect the influence of Italian design in Baltic noble residences.
