Eleja Manor Park is situated in the border area of Lithuania and extends over 17 hectares. It is a place for leisurely walks among beautiful old trees – witnesses of the history, legends and secrets of the manor and the park. One of such legends surrounds the last countess of Eleja Manor and her tragic love story – Dagmāra.
Eleja Manor Park has 15 noble protected trees, and from the biodiversity point of view, it is a precious environmental “pearl” both in Latvia and Europe.
Historical paths have been restored in the park, a bridge has been built across the ditch to the peninsula and two new interactive objects, which could be interesting for the visitors, have been created: the sculpture “Love” by the sculptor Gļebs Panteļejevs, which is best revealed in all its charm in the late evening hours, and the environmental object “Conversation”, which allows people to talk, while standing each on their own bank of the water reservoir. The Tea house hosts wedding ceremonies, while the tourist groups are offered tea.
