"Ungurmuiža" is a harmonious ensemble of 18th-century wooden buildings, surrounded by giant oak trees, and occupies an important place among the cultural heritage of Latvia. It was built in 1732 by Baron von Kampenhausen as his family home, and currently it is the only Baroque wooden building in Latvia. The 18th-century wall paintings are equally unique. A manor under oaks and lindens - this is the first impression of anyone who comes to "Ungurmuiža". This place seems to have miraculously taken refuge from the storms of fate. However, it is not only the harmonious combination of landscape and architectural art that evokes special feelings and gives "Ungurmuiža" an aura of exceptionality. It is the soaring atmosphere created by the spiritual environment in which this manor was built and in which it was destined to live until the First World War. "Ungurmuiža" was built in such a way that it would fit into the surrounding environment, respecting ancient traditions and practicality, not to boast of luxury. This is exactly what was important to Lieutenant General Balthazar von Kampenhausen and his wife when they began construction work. The "Ungurmuiža" manor house was one of the first large-scale Baroque buildings built in Vidzeme after the devastating Northern War. The Limbaži painter Georgs Dietrichs Hinsch transformed the interior of the house, including the attic, into an endless and comprehensive world of paintings, in which everything is moderate, coordinated and harmonious.
