Pirmas zinas par Naukšenu muižu attiecas uz Livonijas ordena laikiem ap 1500. gadu, kad šo ipašumu sauca "Schwarzenbrunn” (Melnie avoti) un tas piedereja Jostam Firstenbergam, iespejams ordena mestra Vilhelma Firstenberga radiniekam. Livonijas kara laika (1558.-1583.), iebrukot Ivanam Bargajam, ipašums tika pilnigi nopostits, un Firstenbergs muižu parcela uz tam piederoša Naukšenu miesta vietu. Vecaja muižas vieta vinš nometinaja kadu viru, varda Mes, pec kura šo vietu saka saukt par Meskull (tagad Lode). Muižas pils celta pirms 1600.gada pašreizeja vieta. 1843.gada pabeigta ekas kapitala parbuve un ta iegust tagadejo izskatu. Muižas kungu maja tiek uztureta laba stavokli un kopa ar zirgu stalli, kleti, pulkstentorni jeb siernicu un parku ir valsts nozimes arhitekturas piemineklis. Preti muižas kungu majai atrodas calojoša struklaka un solini, uz kuriem atpusties. Muižas parka aug reti sastopami koki, tadika korka koks, Sibirijas baltegle, valriekstu koks, ka ari aizsargajami koki– ciedra, Eiropas lapegle, sudrabklava. Dzilak parka apskatamas ari barona fon Grotes dzimtas kapenes, no kuram lidz musdienam saglabajušas tikai drupas.

Naukseni manor was first mentioned on information sources from Livonian times- approximately year 1500 when it was called ‘Schwarzenbrunn’ (Black springs) and it was property of Jost Firstenberg who probably was relative to master of an Order Vilhelm Firstenberg. During Livonian war (1558-1583) it was totally devastated and Firstenberg decided to move manor to Naukseni willage that belong to him. Former place of manor was occupied bt a man called Mes and that’s why they called this place Meskull (Lode in nowadays). Palace of manor was built before year 1600 in its current place. On year 1843 total reconstruction was finished and it gets its current appearance. Manor-house is being kept in good order and is national monument including stable, barn, clock-tower or creamery and park. Opposite the manor house there are murmuring fountain and benches to rest. Rare trees like cork tree, Siberian white fir, walnut-tree and also protectable trees like cedar, European larch, and silver maple are growing in manor Park. If you go deeper to the territory of park you can discover vault of baron fon Grote but only ruins have retained.
During independence years of Latvia there was institution for education of boys. From 1957 till 1998 manor was occupied by Naukseni vocational secondary school nr. 23. Today in the territory of manor Social correction educational institution „Naukšeni” is working for boys and girls aged 11 to 18 who have been adjusted to have such an expedient for their misdemeanours. „Naukšenu Cilvekmuzejs” (museum of people) is working in manor house.
Cache is located in territory of manor on right side of open-air stage, under stage. Cache is accessible 24/7. It’s not possible to drive to the cache so I suggest leaving vehicles near manor house and walk to the cache.
