The former Fricis Bārda Pociems Primary School and the 2.76-hectare territory that goes with it have new owners. Liāna and Andris Pētersons from Aloja bought the property, known as "Pociema Bērzi", in an electronic auction. They intend to turn the site gradually into a rural tourism and leisure venue called "BĒRZI MANOR & CAMPER PARK". The purchase is reported by the regional newspaper Auseklis.
What was sold
The property consists of a plot of land and the buildings on it. The main one is the historic Pociems school building, where children once studied. The newspaper had already reported earlier that the property was put up for auction and sold.
The new owners' plans
According to the source, the Pētersons want to create a distinctive leisure and tourism destination while preserving the building's historic character. The building's place in the memories of the local community is also named as an important consideration. The project's name points to a manor-style guest house and a site for campers, but the publicly available part of the article gives no details on planned services, timelines or investment.
