The construction plan of the Ļaudona Two-Year Agriculture School (1923) supposedly is the first project of an educational institution of the graduate of the Riga Polytechnic Institute (1913), architect Indriķis Blankenburgs (1877–1944). It was not a new building, but a reconstruction of the building after a fire, however, we can find some elements that had been used in the new buildings. The building was used for education for more than half-century. The article is devoted to the history of the building, also mentioning other buildings designed by I. Blankenburgs’ projects in Madona city.
