The building is one of the first monuments of National Romanticism. It was built in 1905 to the designs of architects Konstantīns Pēkšēns and Eižens Laube. The façade boasts an inscription “Mans nams – mana pils” (which translates as My Home is my Castle) along with some decorations redolent of ethnographic patterns in the artistic manner characteristic of E. Laube.
