History
Originally built at the beginning of the 19th century, its red brick outer walls were added around 1890. In 1917, during World War I and the onset of civil war in Russia, the property was abandoned by its owner Baron Voldemar von Wolff and started to quickly deteriorate. The head of a local school —and also musician— Eižens Vēveris envisioned using the abandoned house for artistic activities and convinced the local authorities to save the property. The building currently houses the Trapene parish cultural center and library.[2][3]
