Pēteris Tutāns runs a wickerwork workshop, “Kalndaķi,” in a lovely location near Milzukalns hill.  The workshop dates back to the mid-1980s as a family operation.  In 1999, the family turned the workshop into a true business, “Pinumu Pasaule,” which today is one of the largest wickerwork companies in Latvia.  The company is run by wife Lolita, while Pēteris works at his creative workshop, “Kalndaķi.”

Raw materials for the wickerwork include debarked or not debarked osier wicker from trees which grow on the farm.  The whole process from growing the wicker and finishing the product is handled by hand.  Pēteris weaves baskets, kitchen utensils, interior design objects, garden furnishings, toys for children and various souvenirs.  Visit the workshop and see how the wicker is grown. Purchase finished products or take part in a wickerwork master class.

Overnight accommodations are available.

Первые письменные источники об усадьбе датируются 3-ей четвертью 18-го века. В 1759 году усадебный комплекс включает в себя 14 зданий. В 1759 году Шарлотта Ливен получила Межотне в подарок от Российской императрицы Екатерины II. Тогда же и в Мазмежотне начались масштабные строительные работы. Здания усадьбы сильно пострадали во время Первой мировой войны. Во время первой независимости усадьба стала образцовой, однако во время Второй мировой войны было сожжено жилое здание. В 2007 году были начаты работы по восстановлению комплекса Мазмежотне. Мазмежотне – окруженное природой место для отдыха гостей на холме долины берегов Лиелупе, которое предлагает ночлег, питание, место для торжеств, мероприятий и семинаров, а для любителей активного отдыха и любителей природы – катание на велосипедах, лодках и прогулки по природной тропе и окружающим тропам. Отдельное здание - старый сарай прекрасно отреставрирован и подходит для проведения торжеств, концертов. Старая сыроварня переделана в баню с джакузи, гостиной, террасой. Вокруг усадьбы проложена природная тропа, ведущая по склону левого берега долины Лиелупе и знакомящая с разнообразием природы на берегах Лиелупе.
