Dižlāņi Manor (Groß-Lahnen)

The construction of the manor started in 1872 by order of Baron Fyodor Keizerlink. In November 1875, the construction of the building was completed. The baron hastened to build the new building of the lords of the manor in order to save the health of the newborn daughter Magda, who had a congenital lung disease. Unfortunately, little Magda died at the age of two and a half. The palace building burned down in 1905, renovated from 1908 to 1911.

The 6-hectare castle park was created using the terrain of the ancient valley of Lāņupe. Over time, the building has also served as a parish hall. From 1924 to 2010, the Vecpils elementary school operated in the building. Now the Dižlāņi manor houses the Vecpils culture center, Vecpils parish branch library and youth accommodation.
