Matsalu muiža pirmoreiz vēsturiskajos avotos ir minēta 1560. g., kad tā ietilpa Lihulas bīskapijas sastāvā. Tagad redzamās ēkas ir celtas laikā no 18. gs. otrās puses līdz 20. gs. sākumam. Pagājušā gadsimta sešdesmitajos gados te plānoja izveidot Matsalu rezervāta centru, taču „veiksmīgā loze” tika netālu esošajai Penijē muižai (sk. iepriekš). Mūsdienās muižas pils, citas ēkas un parks (tajā dīķis ar salu) atrodas kritiskā stāvoklī. Taču kā nozīmīgu vēstures liecinieku arī šo muižu var iekļaut apskatāmo objektu sarakstā. Muižas komplekss atrodas pa ceļam uz Kēmu (Keemu) putnu vērošanas torni. |

in 1933, and this is one of the most
outstanding buildings in Latvia from the style
of National Romanticism. It used to house an
enormously popular restaurant, “Merry
Mosquito" (Jautrais ods). The restaurant was
popular among the spa’s guests, but also
among prominent people of the day. A
children’s sanatorium was installed here after
World War II for kids from all over the Soviet
Union. When the Ķemeri National Park was
established in 1997, the building became its
headquarters and today it is a modern visitors’
centre.

The museum was established in 1973 and has been in the Kalna Ziedi homestead since 1989. The permanent exhibition is in a building that was erected in 1989 on the foundations of the former home, while the warehouse (1990) was built on the foundations of a cattle shed. The exhibition hall (2000) was built where a granary once stood. The only part of the former farm that remains in place is the cellar, but the placement of the buildings is typical for the layout of a farm in Vidzeme. The collection of the museum speaks to the history of the administrative district, beginning with information about the Stone Age. The open-air exhibition features beehives with marks of belonging, as well as rare round crosses that are monuments to Medieval cemeteries. 100 metres to the Northeast from the museum is the Kalna Ziedi castle hill, while 200 metres to the south are the remains of a sacrificial oak stump that was destroyed in 1994. The location is on the edge of the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant and offers a broad view of the plant’s dam and the town of Pļaviņas.
