The construction of Luznava manor began in 1905. The building was projected by the owner of the manor Stanislav Kerbedz (1810–1899), a railway construction engineer of Polish origin, professor, member of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, who purchased this property in 1870 from Polish landlords of the village Laizani, the brothers Peter and Julius Dluzhnevsky.
Stanislav Kerbedz married Mary, a daughter of the owner of Vilani manor, Vikenty Janovsky. The Kerbedz family had six children. The daughter of S. Kerbedz, Eugenia Kerbedz (1855 – 1946) became the heiress of Luznava manor. She implemented her father’s project and in1911 completed the construction works of Luznava manor, which were delayed due to the revolution in 1905.
The building is a very unusual example of romantic Art Nouveau built with an attempt to implement architecture and art tendencies of 20th century Europe. The manor was surrounded by more than a 20 ha large park with an outstanding diversity of trees and shrubs, uncountable variety of roses and phloxes, lovely park paths and seven picturesque ponds, in which fish were bred.
