This is a homestead that is three km from the centre of Vecpiebalga and is in a lovely place – the Incēni hill. There is a museum here featuring the author of the legendary fairy tale “Pussy’s Mill” by Kārlis Skalbe (1879-1945). The poet and prose writer built the building in 1926 and spent summers there from that year until 1944. The museum was opened in 1987. The western slope of Vaktskalns hill right alongside the museum offers a lovely view of Lake Alauksts. The cremated remains of Skalbe and his wife, Lizete, were reinterred at the location in 1992 from Sweden, where the poet died. There is a unique monument to them in the form of a stone boat.
