About the Palace
Mission, vision and legend
The mission, vision and legend of SIA “Jaunmoku pils” is based on the long-term development concept and the goals set for the 2022-2026 strategy period.
To become a centre of cultural history and forest excellence
To be a place where one can find a deeper understanding and gain new knowledge about nature and culture.
A place to feel proud of Latvia’s history, nature and the forest industry.
A place to gain additional knowledge and support the belief in the importance of green development.
A place to enjoy relaxation with the added value of unique knowledge and excellent service!
“ROOTED IN TOMORROW”
We are a curious society that understands its cultural heritage and actively builds a rich future.
Those who are truly free and independent are people who both know their past and are interested in the present and actively shape their own (their
family, region, industry and country) future. Only free and independent
people form a strong region and a strong country.
On the other hand, a strong industry that can support the economy of an entire country consists of both a respect for its past and years of work culture and a deep understanding of current achievements and future opportunities.
Jaunmoku Palace complex will be a tourism destination of a Baltic scale; an important stop for exploring the cultural history of Latvia and experiencing Kurzeme.
The National Forest Centre will raise awareness of the
history, value and future of forestry. By giving this knowledge to the public, it will help everyone understand the nature of Latvia, engage future employees, and carry out purposeful research work for the future of the state and the forest sector.
“FOREST ARISTOCRACY”
Jaunmoku Palace complex is a historical monument that closely links nature and cultural heritage. History has created it, but for nature it serves as the home of the National Forest Centre. A place to talk about what is most important to us – the roots of our land and the legacy of the past. A place to nurture what is most important to us – the knowledge, mutual respect and work culture that shape our future every day.
Jaunmoku Palace was born for the forest – as a hunting Palace more than a century ago, as the home of a forestry exhibition today, and as an industry centre in the near future. It is a relationship with nature that cannot be invented or bought, only cultivated and gifted. The relationships we open to our guests and partners, our region and the country.
Jaunmoku Palace is, was and will always be the newest Palace in Latvia, because of its ongoing development. It is a new legacy in creation, new knowledge and new collaborations. With an extensive programme of events and themed restaurant, cosy hotel and residences, the Jaunmoku Palace complex is a place where spending time is equally enjoyable and valuable. It is worth travelling far to get closer: closer to the culture and history of our land, closer to our nature and its main asset – the forest, and perhaps – closer to ourselves and other like-minded and visionary people.
