The manor house can be viewed only from the outside.
The ensemble of Lielauce Manor buildings was created on the shore of the picturesque Lake Lielauce and as such exists since 1561 when after the dissolution of the Livonian Order its last Master Gotthard Kettler became the Duke of Kurzeme and started allocating the lands to the nobles. In 1804, the Lielauce Manor came into possession of Count von Medem but at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – into possession of Count Pahlen.
The present manor ensemble was created in the early 19th century. The manor house was initially built in the Empire style as a two-storey building with a tiled roof. The outbuildings of the manor were constructed on the side of the castle park. The supervisor’s house, which was later transformed into a community centre, as well as stables, the servants’ house, and the ice cellar on the side of the pond have been preserved to the present day. Visitors can also take a closer look at the cart house, also called ‘the carriage barn’, and the small bridge leading to the castle which is a cultural monument of national significance.
The castle is surrounded by an open-type park with around 60 non-native tree species created in the early 19th century during the rule of the counts von Medem. It is also an important dendrological site.
