Bīriņi castle was built in the time Augusts fon Pistolkorss in 1860. after the architect F.V. Hese project. This is the most impressive crescent-style building in Latvian castle architecture. ''The building's common architectonical solution is attributable to neo-gothic, but the window openings - whose semi-circle covers have a significant role in the castle's common character - are characteristic to the crescent style. Thereby, the Bīriņi castle from the stylistic opinion can be assessed as a peculiar combiantion of two trends. It has also earned the contemporary recognition and in nowadays can be considered as a extraordinary example of architectonical thinking''. The building had a rich decor - sculptures, moldings, which have been lost in WW I. In the castle itself neo-renaissance interior finish has been preserved - the broad entrance lobby with bilateral wooden staircase, dining hall with cartridged wooden ceiling and glaced tile stove etc.
