Iģenes Manor House – Western Latvia, 15 km to the Baltic Sea

The first mention of Iģenes muiža dates back to 1397. At that time, Iģenes was part of the large Alt-Odern estate owned by the von Torck family. From a court record of 1672, it is known that the holder of Iģenes and Sarzene was Gerhard von Torck. One of his heirs sold Iģenes on 24 June 1745 to Alexander von den Brincken for 45,000 florins.

After several changes of ownership, the estate came into the possession of the barons von der Brüggen in the mid-19th century. Karl von der Brüggen was expropriated in 1920 and continued to live for some time in the former pheasantry.

The manor house was probably built at the beginning of the 19th century, while most of the agricultural buildings date from the second half of the 19th century. The property includes a 5-hectare park.
