Originally, the Livonians lived in Krimulda, on the shores of the River Vikmeste, but in the 13th century, the crusaders arrived here. Over the centuries, Krimulda experienced various epochs: German, Polish, Swedish and Russian. Not far from the manor house, today one can still view the medieval ruins of the Riga archdiocese fortress, which was burned during the Polish-Swedish war in the 17th century.
In 1819, Krimulda Manor was acquired by Prince Johann Liven, a representative of a notable Baltic-German family. The Liven family managed property in Krimulda until 1921, creating parks and walking spots at Krimulda Manor and making the surrounding area increasingly attractive and recognisable.
In days gone by, the beauty and peace of Krimulda’s landscapes also attracted high ranking officials – in the mid-19th century, this was the vacation spot for the Governor-General of Vidzeme, Aleksandrs Suvorovs, while Russian Tsar Alexander II also visited Krimulda Manor and the newly created park, which greatly enthused him. In honour of the Tsar’s visit, a wooden bridge was built over the Gauja and the Serpentine Road was landscaped and still exists today.
Even though the precise date of the construction of Krimulda’s new manor is unknown, it is assumed that it began in 1822. The manor was built in the classicism style and it is an outstanding example of such architecture in Latvia.
Nowadays, Krimulda Manor invites visitors to cast their eyes upon the testimonies of times gone by, which are preserved in its authentic interior. To see with their own eyes, the primordial nature of the Gauja river valley, enjoy the tranquillity of a walk through the park and to enjoy an unhurried visit to the new manor, where one succumb to vacation dreams or recover one’s health.
