The Baroque ensemble of the Apriķi Manor (Apprikken) complex was developed along the Alokste River in the early 18th century. The manor house was built by 1742, while its octagonal neo-Gothic tower was added in the 19th century. Most of the other buildings, such as the barn, brewery, and mill, were constructed in the second half of the 19th century, and during the same period, a small landscape park was created. Since the 16th century, Apriķi Manor belonged to the von Osten-Sacken family, and from 1790 to 1852, it was owned by the von Kroft family. In the early 20th century, the manor's owner was Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, who later became the President of Finland and is renowned as the creator of the legendary Mannerheim Line, a fortification system used during the Winter War.

Currently, Apriķi Manor houses the Apriķi Museum, whose exhibitions reveal the ancient history of the region. The museum is also home to a large family of gnomes.
