The Cesis manor house or the Cesis New Castle was built in the 18th century as part of a medieval castle fortification system - in place of a protective building for the tower and the gates. Today, it is operated by the Cesis History and Art Museum.

The museum takes pride in its collection of historical materials on Latvia's red-white-red flag.
