The manor of Zosna

The building is surrounded by a small park on the shore of Rāzna Lake with 39 species of trees and bushes.

The Zosna manor building, dating from the end of the 19th century, consists of the manor house, the manager's house, the servants' house or "coachman's house", and outbuildings, which have partially perished. A small manor park on the shore of Lake Rāzna organically fits into the manor building. The main architectural value of the Zosna manor building is the Zosna manor house.
The manor house was built in 1870, one of the rare half-timbered buildings in Latgale. An extension was built in 1968. Interior details characteristic of historicism have been preserved - decorative ceiling rosettes, doors, tiled floors. The complex includes outbuildings and a manager's house built in the 19th century, and a "coachman's house" built in 1820.

The Zosna manor can be viewed only from the outside.

The Zosna Catholic Church, built in 1800, is located on the manor's building site. It is famous for its altarpiece "Madonna with Child" and a crucifix, which are even older than the church itself, as they were transferred from the previous church.

After the cultural and historical research of the Zosna Manor and the former manor house (in the recent past, a school building), an architectural and artistic inventory was carried out.

Summary:

-The oldest unequivocal documented information and cartographic material about the Zosna manor, which is located by the Rāzna lake, has been preserved since 1784, although the beginnings of this manor are much older.

-In 1784, the owner of the Zosna manor was Bedrjaga, the son of brigade commander Akim Foma.

- In 1858, the owner of the Zosna manor was the landlord Čehovičs.

-In 1877, the owner of the Zosna manor was the seller Kiril Kuzņecovs (Nikon's son), as far as is known, at least until 1885.

-On November 8th, 1903, the Zosna manor was bought by knyaz Fjodors Goļicins (Sergej son), most likely with the entire house of the new lords, and was sold on December 19, 1908.

-Since 1909, the owner of the Zosna manor was knyaz A. Līvens.

- In 1920, Zosna Manor was alienated in favor of the Republic of Latvia.

- No earlier than 1922, a first-grade elementary school was established in the center of the manor.

According to unverified but reliable information, the new mansion was built in 1900 or 1901.

Visually, the park was established either at the very end of the 19th century or at the very beginning of the 20th century. ​

Several buildings in the center of the manor have been preserved to varying degrees, including the so-called Castle, landscape park between the Castle and the lake, the Linden circle or Linden gazebo in the former orchard and several linden trees queues around the former parade yard and at the buildings. Narrow avenue of birches and several hedges fragments are plantings of more recent times.

 The documents of the Latvian State Historical Archives were searched, reviewed, and historical research findings were compiled by historical park researcher and architect Ilze Māra Janelis..

The architectural-artistic inventory was compiled by an architect Ināra Caunīte.
