The Manor was built in the 19 century and it has remained almost in its entirety. Manor house reminds the letter U and is located on the plot which is surrounded by a ditch from all sides, so imitating the medieval fortified castles.

It is recommended to look at the unusual heating system in the attic, as well as the chamber of ancient things and the front chamber with tools and household items.

Veselava Manor, based on the land plots owned by Rauna Manor Estate, was established in 1602 by Pēteris Veselavskis, the elder of the community. The name of the manor and the whole parish has its roots from his surname, but the letter “k” has gone lost over the course of time.

The manor house of eclectic style was built in 1841. It was erected in the place where the former house, which burnt down, was once located – on a rather big, oval island to highlight it among other buildings and make it look similar to medieval castles. The island is enclosed by a ditch. The ditch is crossed via two boulder bridges with arches made of calcareous tufa, and they lead to the central yard of the manor.
