Tāšu-Padure (Schloss Tasch–Paddern, Tāšu - Padures muižas pils) is located in the village Kalvene, Kalvene parish, Aizpute municipality, Latvia. It belonged to the von Keyserling family and it has been hosting the elementary school of Kalvene since 1922 [1].
German baltic writer Eduard von Keyserling was born and grew up in the castle[1].
History
The castle was built in the first half of the 19th century for the Korfen family in a classicist architecture[2].
It was acquired by the von Keyserling family in 1852[3].
The manor was surrounded by a park of 10 hectares and served as summer residence[2] and hunting lodge[1].
Count Eduard von Keyserling was born in Kalvene in 1855 and spent its childhood in the castle.
After the independence of Latvia in 1918 and the land expropriation act passed by the Constituent Assembly of Latvia on September 16, 1920, the Keyserlings are expropriated and the building is transformed into a school in 1922[1].
