Mežotne Manor, Neoclassical manor in Mežotne, Latvia.
Mežotne Manor is a neoclassical estate located on the banks of the Lielupe River in Latvia, featuring three floors and a prominent central portico supported by four columns. The complex reflects the symmetrical design principles typical of late 18th-century architecture.
The estate was founded in 1795 when Charlotte von Lieven received the property from Empress Catherine II, and construction took place between 1797 and 1802 under architect Johann Georg Adam Berlitz. This founding period established the building's form and character.
The Dome Hall's cupola ceiling displays illusionistic paintings that create optical illusions and make the space feel larger than it is. The ornate chandeliers and curved architectural elements give this central room a distinctive character that visitors notice immediately.
The manor functions today as a venue for conferences and special events, offering accommodations within its carefully restored buildings. Visitors should be aware that access can sometimes be limited when events are taking place.
The English landscape garden surrounding the manor contains unusual tree plantings featuring species from northern and far eastern regions, including European larch and Siberian fir. This rare mix of vegetation reflects the botanical interests of past owners.
