The foundations of the building were laid in 1952, but due to a lack of materials it took five years to construct. When the palace was opened on 8 November 1956, it was one of the most modern buildings not only in the Riga region, but also the whole of Latvia. The central space of the building is the big hall which can hold 700 spectators.
Other buildings Marta Staņa designed in Zvejniekciems include two blocks of flats for teachers, Zvejniekciems Secondary School and a summer house for the Postaži family of artists.
