Until 1724, the Cecina semi-estate belonged to the Hilsen dynasty. When daughter Jadviga married Jans Šadurskis, the estate was recorded as the Malnava Estate in 1774. Ownership of the estate changed hands several times. The mansion is built in the style of Classicism with Baroque elements. The granary is on one side of the yard, while the mansion is on the other side. During agrarian reforms in the 1920s, the estate was one of the largest ones in Latvia, covering 12,400 ha. The mansion was damaged during World War Ii, and the original interior design was lost during reconstruction.
