Durbe Manor (T24) in Tukums is one of the most interesting castles of classicism style in Kurzeme. It was built in year 1671 and has been reconstructed multiple times. The current look of the castle was created during the time frame from year 1820 until 1923 in compliance with the reconstructions projected by the architect J.G.A.Berlitz. For a pleasant walk to hide from the summer heat and in the luxurious ambience of autumn leaves, visitors can enjoy the scenic park created at the beginning of the 19th century with architectural monuments – the rotunda and stone bridge over a ravine. At this time, the renovated exhibition halls of the castle offer various expositions about manors, however the 1st floor halls of the castle offer expositions of the interior of countryside manors of the 19th century. One of the auxiliary buildings is host to an exhibition of ancient household items "The Latvian and his Master", which tells the story about the lives of farmers and craftsmen during the feudal times.
