From the historical and architectural perspective, this is an interesting monument to urban construction between the 17th and 19th centuries. Old Liepāja is in the area of the old market and Kuršu Square, where merchants sold their wares beginning in the 1560s. Until 1792, Kuršu Square was also where punishments were implemented. The current Pētertirgus pavilion was installed alongside the square in 1910. A map shows that the network of streets has partly preserved the chaos of street planning that was typical in Medieval towns. |

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. Among other buildings, the granary, built in the style of Classicism during the first half of the 19th century, has been preserved, as have several other buildings. The park of the estate has exotic bushes and trees, as well as two cement bunkers, one of which was briefly visited by Adolf Hitler. The estate also has a vodka distillation facility where you will learn all about the process from antiquity to the present day. |
