Abandoned Manor Complex in Cirava (Latvia)

| Tourism objects | 6 seen

Now, this was a quite interesting experience discovering a small village in western Latvia (region of Courland) - Cirava.

I was so fascinated about this place that I decided to make two separate articles - one for the manor complex and the second for the church. Today I will write about the manor complex which actually seemed abandoned for me, but as it turns out it's actually sold to some Italian investor for about EUR 700 000 back in 2014. So seems this is money you should have in your pockets to acquire a badly managed manor complex in Latvia.

Originally built for blue blood German barons - rulers of lands which now are part of Latvia, this place has experienced a lot. So for example a forestry school and agriculture school during the Soviet times.

Honestly speaking I'm not sure, is this house is a part of Cirava manor complex or not, but one thing I'm sure, this place is very similar to near by located Kazdanga Mill Lake
