Vecsaliena manor, or Chervonka's house, is located in Chervonka, Vecsaliena parish, Augšdaugava region. The manor belonged to the Han family until the agrarian reform of 1920 and has remained intact to this day. Currently, it houses the Vecsaliena parish administration.
The Vecsaliena manor palace was built of red bricks in 1870 in the English neo-Gothic style. Bricks were brought from a local kiln, while lime was burnt from dolomite mined on the banks of the Daugava. The main element of the facade of the manor house are pointed arches. The risalites, mezzanines and the tower increase the plasticity of the building. On the first floor there is a hall with an ornate ceiling and an oven with decorative clay formations. You can climb the spiral staircase to the castle tower, which offers a view of Vecsaliena Park. In front of the building there is a wide circle of grass, the road from the palace to the pub is planted with rowan trees, on the side of it there is a preserved Karian house.
