Ķirbiži manor house (Kürbis) is located in the Rural Territory of Vitrupe of the Municipality of Limbaži, less than ten kilometers away from the sea. Together with the lost Bīsteri (Bisterwolde) estate, it is an ancient von Aderkas family estate which belonged to it over 400 years. Despite the various changes, the manor house and several outbuildings are still adorning the centre of the estate. There is also preserved the known as the landlord’s new residential building and the park near the Vitrupe River. Unfortunately, there has been lost almost all the household complex and from 52 ever existing estate buildings there are left less than ten of them. The time tooth, people’s neglect and economic decline have well enough impoverished this corner of Vidzeme. In 2006, there started revival of the remaining part of the estate. There was restored the cellar granery, reconstructed and restored the manor house, removed the stable, landscaped the park. During these works and before that, there was carried out the architectural – artistic and cultural – historical research.
