History

In the distant past Mežotne was a stronghold of ancient Semigallians, but the history of the Mežotne manor dates back to the era of Duke Jacob in the middle of the 17th century.

In 1795, the Russian Empress Catherine II transferred the Mežotne estate to the governess of her grandchildren Charlotte von Lieven for lifelong use.

The present building of Mežotne Palace was constructed from 1797 to 1802 according to the design of Italian architect.
