At the start of Swedish reign in Vidzeme in 1624, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden allocated all of his land to Axel Oxenstierna, the Lord High Chancellor of Sweden. In the year 1672 tens of villages were divided from the territory of Cēsis Castle. In the same year on the land of six of those villages the Liepa estate was established. From 1824 onward the owners of the estate were the Pander family. The last owner of the manor was Charlotte von Wulf. From 1919 to 1970 it housed the Liepa primary school.
