The manor house complex was built during 17th-19th century as a symmetrical ensemble of Baroque style. It was the favoured country residence for he last Duke of Courland – Peter von Biron. 

Although, the manor was devastated in 1919, there are buildings in the manor complex that we can see today. The chevalier's house is currently a school, the barn-manège is People's House today and there are other outbuildings: the stone kitchen building, the manor manager's house and the granary. There is a picturesque park that was formed in the 19th century with a beautiful  water parterre in the middle. The site is famous for the oak tree planted in 1937 by the President, Kārlis Ulmanis.
