Taurupe Manor

Originally built after 1724, it was rebuilt in Tudor Neo-Gothic style around 1900 according to a design by architect Vilhelms Bokslafs for the owner Baron von Transe.

During the 1905 Russian revolution Baron von Transe was shot to death by local peasants, his manor vandalized and then set ablaze.

In the 1920s Taurupe Manor was nationalized in accordance with Latvian Land Reform of 1920.

During the Soviet occupation, a third storey was added after the previous second story roof suffered from a fire.
