Bornsminde Manor is a manor house remodelled in Gothic revival style located in the historical region of Zemgale, in Latvia.
History[]
A one-storied stone building in Baroque style was built in the current location around 1763.[1] Between 1805 and 1806 the manor was rebuilt according to a design by architect Pietro Poncino in late Classicist style and became a two-storied building.[2] Around 1880 the manor house was rebuilt again and acquiring a fashionable Gothic revival look with a tower.[2] The building acquired its current appearance during the 1962 reconstruction, losing the façade decorations and interior finishing elements of the past.[2]
