Andrejs Upīts Memorial House and garden

The first house, which was constructed according to A.Upits’s own plan and drawings in 1908-1909, was burnt by German army in 1917. The construction of the current building was started in 1921 and was finished in a  2-3-year period of time. The writer lived in the house from 1908 to 1915, and from 1922 to 1940, he only spent summers there. After the writer’s death in 1970, the branch of A.Upits’s memorial museum was run in the building. The museum is surrounded by a garden growing such trees as the writer’s beloved ash tree, red-leaf maple, walnut, oaks and other trees planted by the writer himself.
