Rainis museum “Jasmuiža”

The buildings of the Jasmuiža Estate are in a quiet little corner of the countryside and on the banks of the little Jaša River.
“Jasmuiža” is one of the Rainis and Aspazija museums, and among other museums devoted to the poet’s commemoration is the fact that this was where Rainis spent his youth. From 1883 until 1891, the future poet spent summers there while he was a high school and university student. That was because the estate was leased and managed by his father, Krišjānis Pliekšāns.
The cattle shed of the estate now has an exhibition hall which features Lettigalian ceramics. There are more than 200 dishes and examples of decorative ceramics there. The workshop and kiln of Andrejs Paulāns, in turn, allows visitors to learn about the environment in which Lettigalian ceramicists lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th century.
