Strazdumuiža

The Neo-Classical manor house stands at Pales Street 14 in Riga, featuring decorative elements on its facade and surrounded by an English-style park.

Built in 1770 by the Budberg family, the estate changed ownership multiple times until Johan Theodor Pychlau established a cotton and wool factory in 1827.

The manor maintains a connection to visual accessibility through its current function as a center for blind and visually impaired individuals.

The building includes a specialized library and educational facilities, continuing its long-standing mission of supporting visually impaired community members.

The property contains an ancient fountain that projects colored lights, complementing poetry readings created by blind individuals during special events.
