University of Latvia Recreation and Conference Complex “Ratnieki” is in the central part of Vidzeme, just about an hour’s drive from Riga. Our spacious countryside area and diverse facilities are perfect for both large-scale events and peaceful retreats in nature.

The complex consists of six historic buildings offering facilities for seminars, conferences and accommodation, as well as suitable infrastructure for hosting outdoor events for up to 1,000–5,000 people. We offer 154 beds, making it possible to host both small groups of friends and large-scale events. The outdoor area is ideal for sports games, activities and summer celebrations, while the indoor spaces provide rooms of various formats for seminars, conferences and workshops. Additionally, relaxation in a sauna house with a hot tub is also offered.

The complex offers facilities for organizing various events:
- Corporate and private events;
- Seminars, conferences, workshops and training sessions;
- Sports events and camps;
- Cultural events, concerts and festivals;
- Celebrations and weddings;
- Accommodation and leisure with friends or family.

The complex is a site of cultural and historical significance, connected to one of the most outstanding representatives of Latvia’s first period of independence industrial heritage – Roberts Hiršs (1895–1972), owner and director of the textile company “Rīgas Audums” and a patron of the University of Latvia. He bequeathed “Ratnieki” to the University of Latvia in 1972.

University of Latvia Recreation and Conference Complex “Ratnieki” is a place where celebration, work and relaxation come together amid the beauty of nature.
