Nordeķu muiža
Nordeķi Manor stands in Riga as a historic estate surrounded by Nordeķi Park, an English-style landscape park covering 3.6 hectares. You can see mature trees, broad lawns, ponds with ducks, and a children’s playground among the grounds.
The estate first appeared in records in 1576 as Grāves Manor and began as a grain-farming property. Its main residence dates from the 18th century, with a single storey, baroque details, and a double-pitched roof. A second masonry house followed in 1910, while only three of the original buildings survive today. Restoration finished in 2021 with a new clay-tile roof and painted façades, preserving a state-protected architectural monument within Riga’s urban landscape.
Sculptures from the 2005 symposium “Tēlniecības desants” stand among the grounds, alongside heart-shaped benches with leafy backs. A circular planting scheme grows into a small labyrinth, giving this historic park a distinctly playful detail.
