An architectural monument of the 18th century.

Construction of the complex of the central building began around 1765 after the project of architect A. Parako. Paintings of the interior of the castle walls are the most outstanding monument of Latgale’s secular architecture of the 18th century. In addition to the castle, farm buildings were built: palace housekeeper and gardener houses, stable, orangery. Around the castle was created approximately 22 ha large park. Its dendrological composition in nowadays is very wide – around 70 different species of trees and shrubs. In the park has restored cave with a mysterious “underground passage” and a guard of the castle – a lion.

In one of the buildings is located Krāslava History and art museum. After the renovation, the Crafts House is arranged in the former hall, where various events and creative workshops are held. The former manager’s house currently houses Krāslava region’s TIC, International Center for Culinary Heritage, and Porcelain doll collection.
