The roughly 350-year-old beater’s house still stands, but the place of the manor is marked by a large mantelpiece. The object is privately owned, visit must be booked in advance. Nearby you will find Kalna Manor resting area, Gāguļi big oak, Priedkalni Napoleon pine, Lauciņi linden, Vīksniņa river ring.
