The Smiltene Manor Complex is located on the steep banks of Vidusezers. It is called Kalnamuiza. The Manor buildings where built between 1767-1771 during the ownership of Governor General Brown of Vidzeme. Later on the Manor was sold to a trader Bandau in Riga. Prince Paul von Liven`s mother bought it in 1893 and gave it to her son as a present. The following years brought a rapid development of Smiltene under Prince Paul von Liven.
