Krimulda Manor is a 19th-century neoclassical estate situated on the high banks of the Gauja River valley in Sigulda, Latvia. The estate features a main manor house, a former carriage house, and a complex of historic park buildings. The site served as a sanatorium for much of the 20th century, which preserved its original layout and expansive grounds. Visitors can explore the preserved manor architecture and the surrounding botanical collection. The estate is connected to the Sigulda side of the valley by a unique cable car system spanning the Gauja River. The grounds contain remnants of the medieval Krimulda Castle ruins nearby. It functions today as a heritage site incorporating local production, including the 'Cremon' winery. The estate is a significant component of the Gauja National Park cultural landscape.
