Purmsāti Manor Complex

The name of the manor was first mentioned in 1357, when the Rummelu family acquired it in feudal tenure. The manor park and several manor buildings have been preserved. Since 1961, the buildings have been under the administration of Mežupe Primary School, which educates children with special needs.

The museum was established in 1987. The historical materials reveal the history of the Purmsāti village, as well as the development of special education over the years for children with special needs at Mežupe Primary School.

There is no detailed information regarding the installation year, nor any engraved numbers or letters that would provide further specifics.

It is known that there were several such type of posts. Many decades ago, during land reclamation, they were taken away or thrown into a pile of stones – they have been lost. We can only speculate about their original location.

Large outdoor musical instruments are available to any interested person, including people with special needs and those in wheelchairs. The instruments are made from high-quality materials to ensure sound quality in all weather conditions. The xylophone, chime bells, rainbow drums, vertical bells, and marimba are five musical instruments installed among the century-old trees of the park, opposite the manor house. This is one of the projects implemented by the "Rumula" association in the Virga parish.

In the center of Purmsāti lies the Crane Burial Field (fire altars).

Judging by the hill, valley, and evidence of fire altars in the center of Purmsāti Manor, archaeologists have hypothesized that the hill, where the manor house was later built, served some special purpose. In the valley of the hill, there could have been a Curonian settlement, which might explain the presence of fire altars nearby. The findings suggest that the center of Purmsāti Manor might have developed on the site of a much older Curonian settlement.
