It is thought that the original Mālpils order castle was built during the second half of the 14th century and that it was located a kilometre away from the current Mālpils manor buildings. During the Polish-Swedish war in the 17th century, the castle was blown up.
Subsequently, when in the 18th century when Empress Elizabeth of Russia gifted Mālpils Manor to Colonel Melgunov’s wife, it was moved to its current location, where Mālpils Manor house. During this period, the baroque-style manor park was established. Other development included the creation of a pond and the construction of the centre of the manor.
In 1905, the manor was completely burned down at the height of the revolutionary upheaval. Its renovation began two years later when manor owner Alexander von Grote recruited the eminent Baltic-German architect Wilhelm Bockslaff to lead the reconstruction of the manor house, which was completed in 1911.
During the 20th century, the manor served various purposes including as home to a school, a hydro-drainage technical college, sovkhoz administration and agricultural museum.
The manor was only restored to its original glory quite recently – in 2008, when it was transformed into a design hotel, in which as many historical architectural and interior elements characteristic of the classicism-era were retained as possible, creating the hotel rooms and premises in a tasteful and refined style, ideally suited for hosting various events and celebrations.
