The building known to many generations of C\u0113sis residents as the polyclinic has written its name in the city’s history with a rich story of changing owners and functions. It’s hard to imagine that in the 18th century, this site was merely a garden, described in documents as “the garden before Catherine’s Gate” \u2013 an area located outside the city’s defensive wall. <\/p>\n

The current two-story brick building was constructed in 1880 according to the design of contractor Johan Hoppe, when the land belonged to the notable natural scientist and ornithologist Oskar von L\u00f6wis of Menar. Before the building’s construction, this plot of land, known as “Schultz’s Garden,” traveled from one owner to another for a century until it came into von L\u00f6wis of Menar’s possession, who purchased it in 1878 for an impressive 10,000 rubles. <\/p>\n

After the building’s construction, Oskar von L\u00f6wis rented his property to state institutions \u2013 the C\u0113sis-Valka Magistrate’s mortgage (land registry) department and the 1st district judge’s chamber. The lease agreement, concluded in 1889, provided for the premises to be used for 1,300 rubles per year. The owner committed to carrying out necessary repairs and even covering street maintenance, waste disposal, and chimney cleaning expenses \u2013 truly a lordly gesture! <\/p>\n

After Oskar von L\u00f6wis’s death in 1899, the property was inherited by his widow Alexandra, who later moved to Dresden and sold the house to nobleman Gaston von Pistolkors for 16,500 rubles in 1902. The property changed several owners until Emma \u0160pora acquired it in 1913, whose family managed it until the beginning of World War II. <\/p>\n

The building’s premises were used for various purposes over the years \u2013 it housed the C\u0113sis printing house, Elv\u012bra Grosa’s private kindergarten, a sewing workshop, and even Adventist church services. After Emma \u0160pora’s death in 1937, the property was inherited by her children Erika Kr\u0113mere and Arv\u012bds \u0160pors. Unfortunately, in 1939, Erika repatriated to Germany, leaving her share of the property, which was taken over by the Latvian Credit Bank. <\/p>\n

After World War II, during the Soviet era, the house was reconstructed as an outpatient clinic in 1949, with the front doors bricked up using bricks produced at the C\u0113sis building materials factory. Since then, the building has served as a medical institution, and although various doctors practice there today, C\u0113sis residents still affectionately call it the “polyclinic.” <\/p>\n

This building, whose history began as a simple garden outside the city walls, has become part of the city’s identity \u2013 from a noble property to an important public healthcare institution. It is a living testimony to the transformation of C\u0113sis through time, political regimes, and societal changes. <\/p>\n

Unusual stories are hidden in the walls of this building – it has served not only as a government institution and a place of healing, but also as a printing house, kindergarten, and even a room for Adventist church services.<\/p>\n

The parade doors, which were bricked up in 1949, still preserve the stamp of the C\u0113sis brick factory – bricks from this same kiln were also used for the restoration of the Moscow Kremlin wall.<\/p>\n
