Manor house has not been preserved.

Merchant V.Kusinkis here established a factory of copper, steel and iron wares in 1852 - most likely it did not operate too long though.

In 1895 chief engineer of Riga Gustav Adolf Agthe obtained this manor together with neigboring Dragunmuiza manor and Heil manor - he planned to establish a district of private villas and large park here after his retirement. Agthe family owned the manor house up to the middle of 1930ies, then it became property of Riga city.
