Description

The buildings of the estate were constructed by the end of the 19th century, at the centre of today’s Višķi Village. The main estate building was constructed for the Mohls, a Polish noble family, who owned 18 farms and 4000 ha of land in the surroundings. A representative of the Mohl family has been found in Argentina, who has provided information about the estate and the family that it was built for, and is open for further communication.

This goal coincides with the development plans of Daugavpils Municipality and Višķi Parish.

So far, Daugavpils Municipal Council has already developed surrounding areas, building a stadium, a camping site, an outdoor stage, a beach with volleyball fields and a boat quay. The Council intends to provide and expand high-quality cultural, sporting and tourist events and services, and to support the renovation of the estate.
