Amalienburg Manor

Amalienburg Manor, also known as Amalia Castle (Amalienburg), was built in the early 19th century, and its history is closely linked to the nearby building, the Dom Inn. Later, the plots of land of both buildings were separated, and the legal status of Amalia Castle became identical to that of a manorial estate. In 1814, the owner of the "L" shaped two-story stone building was the lord of the Jāmaiki Manor, painter and writer Ulrich Heinrich Gustav von Schlippenbach. However, in 1821, the owner of Amalienburg became the state adviser and landrath Carl Alexander von Kroff, and from 1879 to 1924, the building belonged to the Osten-Sacken family.

During the first period of the Latvian Republic, Amalienburg was acquired by the Bank of Latvia and, in 1925, became the Aizpute branch of the Bank of Latvia. After the change of ownership and names of the bank, the building continued to function even after the war until the early 1990s.
At the beginning of 2021, Amalienburg Manor was included in the State Protected Cultural Monuments list. Currently, the building is managed by the "Amalienburga" association, and research and restoration work is underway to make the manor a publicly accessible site.
