Svēte Manor (Latvian: Svētes muižas pils) is a manor house in Svēte parish in the historical region of Zemgale, in Latvia.

History

The manor was originally built around 1730, and extensively remodeled with new columns between 1774 and 1775 by architect Severin Jensen for use as a summer vacation residence by Duke Peter von Biron. The building was part of an army base between 1870 and 1993. It was further remodeled between 1876 and 1878 for military use. From 1993 until 2018 building had several owners but its condition slowly worsened. In 2018 manor building became property of a local family who has started restoration works.
