History
editRestored between 1992 and 1994, Mežmuiža Manor dates back to the mid 1870s. The first owners were the Lievens.
The main building is located a midst the mills, the gardeners, the maids, and the administrative building, situated a little away from the barns. The manor complex also includes a 12-hectare park with pillars where exotic species are grown, such as balm, the European silver fir, red oak, black and mountain pine. Since 1954, it has housed the Augstkalne secondary school.[2]
