Durbe Manor

Durbe Manor (Latvian: Durbes pils, German: Herrenhaus Durben) is a Neoclassical manor house located in Tukums, in Tukums Municipality, in the Courland region of Latvia.

[1] The family of Baron von der Recke owned the manor from the 1848 to 1920,[1] when the agrarian reform began.

In 1923, Durbe manor was presented to famous Latvian writer and playwright Rainis, who owned it until his death in 1929.

However, Rainis used to live there for only short periods and mostly used the manor as a vacation house for teachers and their families.

Since 1991, Durbe manor is a part of the Tukums city museum exhibition.
