About Jaunmokas Palace

Jaunmokas Palace is located in the picturesque hilly area of Kurzeme, on the side of the Riga-Ventspils highway, only 75 kilometres from Riga. It was built in 1901 according to the project of Wilhelm Bokslaff as a hunting lodge for the mayor of Riga George Armitstead.

The ensemble of the manor acquired its present-day appearance in a short period of time, with several owners changing, but preserving the concept of the architect Wilhelm Bockslaff – to create this farm and recreation complex as a synthesis of Gothic impressions of Hanseatic cities. The functional layout of the interior and the luxurious tiled stoves were made in the 19th and 20th centuries in the typical Art Nouveau style.

Nowadays, the recreational centre of Jaunmokas Palace offers a large variety of services outside the rush of the city being situated in a quiet, hilly scenery of Kurzeme. By preserving the values of cultural history of the area and introducing ever new products of cultural tourism, Jaunmokas Palace has become one of the most popular places for relaxation in Latvia. We offer our guests a visit to the Forest Museum, hotel and restaurant services, as well as luxurious rooms for celebrations and conferences.
