History
Original Ezere manor house (Lielezer Manor; Groß-Essern; Essern) was built in 1750s by von Bernewitz noble family. Later it has been remodeled several times by a series of owners. Since 1922 the building has housed the Ezere school. It was a 6-year primary school at that time. Capitulation of Army Group Courland was accepted here by Soviet General Ivan Bagramyan on 9 May 1945.
Since 1952 manor house has been operating as an Ezere secondary school. In 1963, the school was expanded to include a primary school, a music class and a gym.
As of September 1, 2016, by the decision of the meeting of the deputies of Saldus District Council on February 25, the Ezere Secondary School was reorganized into an elementary school.
