Hincenberga Manor Park and the Soviet Military Cemetery

The place where once was the wide Hincenberga Manor, but now there is a cultivated park and memorial place to fallen soldiers.

Once Hincenberga Manor was a wonderful place where wealthy people lived. The manor had several buildings, where you could meet craftsmen, sharecroppers and other servants of the manor, as well as see a large apple orchard, brewery and wine cellars.


During the war in the summer of 1919, the manor was destroyed, and until now the only remaining witnesses are old protected Dutch linden trees that fill the park.


Going through the manor park, you will reach the cemetery of Soviet soldiers, which has become the final resting place of the Soviet Army soldiers fallen in World War II. In this place you will find Gunta Zemīte's metal sculpture "Mother with the image of a burning flame in the hands", which is designed to honour of the fallen soldiers.
