In the village of Kalnciems, by the river and peat bogs, there is a Soviet-era building built in 1980. This building has slum status. The building has not been used for decades.

Since 2019, cleaning and renovation work has been carried out, in which private family funds are invested. Step by step, the building is being renovated to create a peat art museum. The peat house will also have a peat workshop and a research center. Only handmade is mostly used to prepare peat.

The aim of the Peat Museum is to summarize and publish the course of traditions, which have been started since 2008.

At the moment Peat House is under renovation and we offer to get the new vision for visitors in each stage. For more info please contact via e-mail: e.ameriks@icloud.com
