History

The estate was first mentioned around 1405 under the name "Adsel-Schwarzhof". Until 1781 it was part of Gaujiena Castle estate. [3] The owners of the manor changed several times in the 17th century. In the 18th century the property belonged to von Delvig  [ de ] family. From 1783 to 1825 it was property of the family of Magnus Johann Scotus (ennobled in 1788 in Vienna as Scotus von Scott) and his daughter Johanna (Jeanette). The manor was sold to Dr. Wilhelm Johann Engelbrecht von Zoeckell [4] and later became the property of Luise von Zoeckell and her husband baronet Gottlieb von Fersen. The manor belonged to von Fersen family until World War I. [5]

In 1922, the Guard House was established in the manor house. After World War II there was a school (until 1969), the local collective farm used the castle cellars for warehouses. The manor house became the property of the Latvian Artists Union in 1970. It hosts international artists' seminars and exhibitions. A guest house has been set up. [5]

The complex has a castle, a gardener's house, a barn, a windmill, stables with artists' workshops, some outbuildings. The manor house was built in 1881 in neo-Gothic style. Boulder wall, two floors, steep gable roof. The text "Hic habitat Felicitas, nihil mali intret" is engraved on the stone on the threshold of the castle (from Latin: "Happiness lives here, nothing bad comes in").
