Discover Jaunlutriņi

Jaunlutriņi combines historical traces, a distinctive park and special insights into the region’s cultural life. Those wishing to plan a trip with a variety of experiences will find opportunities here for peaceful exploration, physical activity and events. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday house, you can therefore consider whether culture, nature or an active daily itinerary should be the focus of your trip.

Jaunmuiža: Museum, park and historical details

An important historical connection leads to Jaunmuiža. The Jukums Vācietis Memorial Museum was opened in the former servants’ house of Jaunmuiža. In front of the museum stands a sculpture of Jukums Vācietis created in 1973 by sculptor Lea Davidova-Medene. This gives a stay in Jaunlutriņi a concrete cultural connection that can easily be combined with a walk or further impressions of the area.

The history of the manor house is also connected with Jaunlutriņi: from 1923, the Jaunlutriņi school was moved to the Jaunmuiža manor house. Those interested in local history can take this historical connection into account when planning their trip. Another striking detail is the doors of the Jaunmuiža klēts. The boards are arranged in a diamond pattern and richly decorated with large nails. Such individual details give the visit its own character and invite you to pay attention not only to the best-known stops.

Park landscape and trails for active days

Jaunmuiža Park covers 2.2 ha. Its features include plantings of non-native trees and shrubs, as well as a linden avenue called Mīlestības aleja. The park therefore provides a clear natural and landscape aspect within the destination.

Hikers can follow a 21 km route that runs through Jaunlutriņu pagasts and Šķēdes pagasts. The length is an important factor for your planning: you can treat the route as a hiking experience in its own right and leave the remaining days free for shorter explorations or cultural destinations. A holiday apartment or holiday house in Jaunlutriņi can serve as the starting point for your personal trip planning, without requiring you to focus on the same type of activity every day.

Experiencing culture and planning around special events

Jaunlutriņi also has a strong amateur theatre tradition. The amateur theatre from Jaunlutriņi has performed on the stage of Dailes teātris. For culture-oriented travellers, this is a noteworthy part of the area’s profile. If you are travelling with children or young people, “The Adventures of Little Jukums in Jaunmuiža” offers a thematic way to explore the area: the excursion is intended for school groups and leads to the birthplace of Jukums Vācietis in Jaunlutriņi.

In summer, strongman competitions and the sports games “Esiet kā vīri!” are held in the hundred-year-old Jaunmuiža Park. These events offer a different focus from the museum, the history of the park and the theatre. Depending on your travel dates and personal interests, you can therefore choose between a culturally oriented trip, a hike or a sporting experience. The search for accommodation in Jaunlutriņi can thus be tailored to your preferred travel pace and the excursions you wish to include.
