Vecsaliena Manor

Vecsaliena Manor is a manor house in Červonka featuring Neo-Gothic architecture with red brick construction, ornate details such as risalits, mezzanines, and a prominent tower. The building now serves as the headquarters for the Vecsaliena Parish administration, a post office, and a library.

The manor was built in 1870 and belonged to the von Hahn family until 1920. Latvian agrarian reforms that year led to the nationalization of most of the estate's land.

The manor contains stained glass windows in the former baron's office and a grand hall with decorative ceiling elements. These interior details show how the family decorated their private spaces and valued artistic touches in their home.

The manor is located about 240 kilometers from Riga and 25 kilometers from Daugavpils and can be visited, though it currently functions as an administrative building. Check in advance about access, as public areas may be limited due to its ongoing use as offices.

The former owners, the Barons of the von Hahn family, lived simply despite their wealth, sleeping on straw bags and eating basic meals. This behavior contrasted sharply with the elaborate architecture and interior decoration of their home.
