Ārdava (Jezufinova) Manor Infrastructure

The Jezufinova Manor House was built in 1861 in the Neo-Renaissance style. It belonged to the Mol family of nobles until 1922. The owner, Vaclav Mol, established a school for the children of servants in the manor, and in 1906–1907, the Latgalian educator and writer Naaizmērstule (real name Rozālija Tabūne (1890–1965)) worked there as a teacher.

As part of the agrarian reform implemented by the Republic of Latvia, the manor was expropriated in 1922 and the Ārdava Elementary School was established in the building, which operated until 2003.

On June 17, 1942, Soviet saboteurs blew up a train at the nearby Ārdava railway station. The explosion killed writer and journalist Vincents Mickāns (1913–1942) and his parents, who lived near the station. The right eastern wing of the manor was also damaged.

In 2020, the uninhabited manor building was purchased by new owners, who have begun renovation and improvement works. The park and outbuildings have also survived from the manor complex.
