LIELVARDE MANOR

Park Lielvarde is located in the valley of the Daugava and Rumbina rivers, on the territory of ancient Lielvarde manor. In the initial part of the Lielvarde Park, in a romantic stone building built in the 19th century as a barn of the Lielvarde estate, the Lielvardes Museum of Andrew Pumpurs was established in 1970.

In the part of the Park where once there was a Lielvarde estate with six columns, terraces and rose seedlings, there is now a sculpture garden, where you can see 16 images from the epos of A. Pumpurs “Lacplesis”.

The area is 4.8 hectares, the terrain is flat, with two medieval protective ditches. The place for the landscape is great, but the Park is heavily destroyed and transformed. Somehow the Central part to the North of the house of the Lord has been preserved. Around the medieval ruins – fragments of regular planning plantings. The plantings are based on local species.
