The manor complex is the historic focal point of the area. Its architectural history stretches from the late 18th century to the first half of the 19th century. Fieldstone and bricks made on site were used as materials. This specific combination is part of the character of the preserved complex and gives the study of its history a tangible architectural connection.

The number of 16 preserved buildings is also relevant for travel planning. If you would like to learn more about the local history, the complex therefore offers several historical points of reference that you can choose according to your interests.

The Museum of the Jaunlaicene Manor Complex is housed in the manor house. This provides a clear indoor focus for your cultural itinerary. The permanent exhibition “Malēnīša pasaule” complements the historic surroundings with a linguistic aspect: it includes a Malēnian wordplay. For travellers who want to discover regional features not only through buildings but also through language and everyday culture, this component offers a perspective of its own.

Those who prefer to spend time outdoors can include the walking path at the manor. It leads through a themed open-air exhibition. The combination of path and exhibition offers a different way of approaching the site than a visit to the museum in the manor house. On a trip with children, you can choose the topics according to the family's attention and interests; this does not involve any specific opening or visiting times.

Another historical point of reference is Jaunlaicene Barons' Cemetery. It is a cultural and historical monument and was consecrated in 1814. The cemetery contains a chapel built between 1859 and 1865 to a design by the architect Paul von Hardenak. It resembles a small Gothic church.

The cemetery and chapel offer a different focus from the manor complex. While the manor illustrates the development of a historic complex with several preserved buildings, the cemetery and chapel direct attention to remembrance culture, architecture and the history of the area. Travellers interested in church architecture, historic cemeteries or regional cultural history can take these themes into account when choosing their activities.

When looking for accommodation in Jaunlaicene, the focus of your trip should come first. If you want to combine the museum, manor, open-air exhibition, cemetery and chapel thematically, you should base your daily itinerary on the information actually available for each site.

For couples, the focus can be on architecture and history, while families can combine the museum exhibition and themed walking path according to their own interests. What matters is which form of engagement you prefer: the indoor spaces and exhibition in the manor house, a path through the open-air exhibition, or the historical connections of the Barons' Cemetery and chapel. You can find other places to compare under Jaunanna, Korneti, Kolberģis, Alūksne and Visikums.
