Valdeķi Manor (Latvian: Valdeķu muižas pils) is a manor house in the historical region of Zemgale, in Latvia.
History
Built in 1882, it belonged to Latvian publisher and journalist Antons Benjamiņš from 1932 until his death in 1939. After that it belonged to his widow Emīlija Benjamiņa until her deportation to a Soviet labor camp in 1941. The Benjamiņš family recovered ownership in 1995, and the building has housed a museum dedicated to photographer and film manufacturer Juris Benjamiņš, the adopted son of Antons and Emīlija, since 1998.
