Nītaure Manor Palace and Park
Once owned by a Scottish general, the territory of Nītaure manor still preserves the grandeur of ancient times, while the palace, as a school, still stands the test of time.
The extensive system of parks and ponds created during the time of the manor has been preserved near the castle of Nītaure manor. The park was originally a French regular style park, which was transformed into a romantic landscape park. 21 species of trees and shrubs grow there, including very rare and special representatives of lindens. The park was created with 3 terraces.
Upon private application, paid tours are available under the guidance of Dace Eipure, a history expert and guide of Nītaure. The manor is just one of the stops on the historical trail of Nītaure.
The place is accessible from the outside to a wide number of visitors.
Russian Empress Elizabeth presented a gift to the Scottish general Wilhelm Fermor (born in Russia) for the victory in the Seven Years' War, in which all the European powers of the 18th century had been involved. In 1759, General Fermor received several properties in the territory of present-day Latvia, including the Nītaures manor.
The castle of Nītaure manor was built in 1890. It was burned down in 1905. It was restored and adapted to the needs of Nītaure elementary school in 1928. The building can be viewed only from the outside.
The place is available at any time of the year.
