The magazine was a building in which grain reserves were kept for years of poor harvests or other disasters. Each farm had to contribute a certain amount of grain to the magazine, and peasants could borrow seed grain or food grain when needed. The Turaida Parish magazine was built between 1830 and 1843. Interestingly, the design of the building embodies a transfer from the Biedermeier aesthetic to the Neo–Gothic style. In 2005, the Turaida Museum Reserve bought the building and in 2009 began to restore it.
