About the museum
Edvards Treimanis, who wrote under the pseudonym Zvārgulis, was born on 2 October 1866 in Rauguļi, Priekuļi parish. He was a Latvian poet, satirist, actor, civil servant, politician and book publisher, and one of the most popular authors at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
In 1900, together with Kārlis Veidenbaums, he built the house “Leukādijas” at the confluence of the Rauna and the Gauja, naming it after the Greek island of Leukas. The original wooden summer house was later faced with white shell stone from the nearby Kazu gravas. From 1919 until his death in 1950 Treimanis lived here permanently. The house has 10 rooms, one of which has been turned into a memorial room with manuscripts, photographs and memorabilia. The poet is buried in the house garden, where a monument by Kārlis Jansons has been erected. “Leukādijas” is a state-protected cultural monument.
