Hartmanis Manor is a protected architectural complex in Zemgale Suburb located at Kalnciema iela 28. The estate includes multiple buildings arranged around gardens and open spaces that fill the surrounding land.
The manor was founded in 1701 during a period of noble estate development across Latvia when agriculture formed the backbone of the regional economy. Its construction reflects the building practices and priorities of that era.

The property sits along a main road with good public transport access and features paved pathways through the grounds. Wear sturdy shoes as some areas have uneven surfaces and slight slopes.
