Padure Manor (Latvian: Padures muižas pils) is a manor house built in empire style located about 200 metres from a large pond formed by the waters of the Venta river, in Padure Parish, Kuldīga Municipality, Latvia. Used as a war hospital during the German occupation in the Second World War, it housed the Padure parish library until 2005.
History[edit]
The manor house was erected in the late 1830s to the early 1840s.[1] The first owner was the Scottish merchant John Louis Balfour who acquired the property from the von Stempel family, who owned the Padure estate and Turkalne Manor.[1] His eldest son, Alfon Balfour, managed the estate until the beginning of the 1920s.[1] After the Latvian Agrarian Reform was instituted, from 1922 the manor was managed by the government of Latvia.[2]
From 1 April 1923, a school was opened.[1] During the German occupation the manor served as a war hospital and after 1945, the buildings of the estate began to be used as an agricultural experimental station.[1] Until 2005, the manor housed the Padure parish library.[1]
