Līgatne is the workers' village of the oldest paper-mill in Latvia, and its historical appearance has remained unchanged. Moreover, Līgatne in general is a unique and uniform industrial heritage ensemble.

The flat is located inside a unique wooden building of Līgatne paper factory village, the construction of which dates back to the end of the 19th century. The paper-mill of the manufacture was founded already in 1815. While paper-mill was in need for workers, the workers – for a place to live. A walk along the village guides you through all stages in the life of a paper-mill worker: there are former hospital buildings, a school for the local children, and residential terrace houses with small gardens. One of the workers' flats is renewed to look like original. The authentic environment invites you for a tea made on fire while watching a historic movie about the everyday life of local families.
