Музей молочного хозяйства и молочная усадьба — Бергхоф

The museum was opened in 2007 and invites you to remember, understand, feel and enjoy - what is milk, where does it come from and how is it processed before it reaches our table. Everything about milk - from a cow's teat to a glass bottle or cardboard box!

History of the estate


The history of the Berghof estate began in the 16th century, and in the 19th century it was associated with Baron von Medem, who turned the estate into his summer and hunting residence. In the 1920s, as a result of rural reforms, the manor was taken away from von Medem's descendants and renamed Kalnamuiža. For some time it was used as a school, later as a recreation and training center for the Liepaja Dairy Factory. The estate survived several fires and was looted. At the beginning of the new millennium, it was restored, renamed the Dairy Estate and opened to tourists.
