History

Pamūša manor in the context of Zemgale (Semigallia)

Pamūša manor is situated in Pamūša village, Gailīši parish, Bauska region. The manor is located on the left bank of the Mūsa River above Bauska. Bauska is 5 km away but Riga - 75 km. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Pamūša manor complex included 17 buildings and small architectural forms. Even earlier, the territory of the manor complex was on both sides of the  Mūsa River, including Ārce manor, which was separated from the Pamūša manor in the 17th century. To this day, only the manager's house has remained unchanged. The manor house was rebuilt in the 1960s and the farm buildings have changed beyond recognition or even completely disappeared. But evidence of the former appearance of the buildings can be found in archival materials and in people's memories.
