The Manor barn, built in the early 19thcentury, is part of the historic Taurupe Manor complex. Its original design is identifiable only by partial historical evidence, which was restored during the reconstruction. Contemporary architectural interventions establish a harmonious dialogue with the historic fabric, respecting its scale. The building houses a local history exhibition alongside a multifunctional exhibition and event hall. The Manor barn has been transformed into a significant cultural venue for the neighbourhood, preserving and passing on its cultural heritage for future generations
