January at Padure Manor started with a festive spirit – a lively company spent two days celebrating the New Year in the historic atmosphere of the manor. The month brought an intern from France, who translated the Wikipedia page into French and helped with sales texts. Artist Atis Jākobsons continued his work as a resident artist, adding a creative touch to the manor. Meanwhile, our crowdfunding campaign reached its minimum goal and continues towards the maximum. We also welcomed stove master Raivo Zvejnieks and applied for funding to restore the dining room ceiling.

The first summer reservations have been made, and guided tours are available for groups of all sizes.
