Exhibition at the Eleja exhibition hall “Elejas muižas skatpunkti” (Viewpoints of Eleja Manor)

The exhibition hall opened on 20 October 2022. The exhibition hall is located in the Eleja Manor Park, surrounded by tall trees. The modern architecture of the building continues the vertically inclined, asymmetrical character of the trees – nothing is linear and predictable, as in nature. Different perspectives are revealed from different angles, with a respectful attitude towards the historical, the ancient, the special.

The exhibition hall houses a historical exposition Viewpoints of Eleja Manor about the Eleja Manor complex and the people important in its development.

The central object of the exhibition is a restored wooden roof element, which has been preserved from the roof structure of the Tea House belonging to Eleja Manor.

The exhibition tells both about the history of Eleja Manor, interactively involving the visitor in various activities, and the history, flora and fauna of Eleja Manor Park. The restoration of Eleja Tea House is also depicted with tea aroma and music. The small hall focuses on the life and creative work of G. Kuphaldt, the landscape architect of Eleja Manor Park, allowing visitors to experience the profession of a landscape architect.
