Mikjanu seta

This is one of only two Latvian fishing villages that have, to the very best of their ability, preserved an authentic atmosphere. The Latvian Open-Air Ethnographic Museum has its Vītolnieki branch here, featuring an old fisherman’s homestead. Active construction of new buildings is causing the problem that the village is rapidly losing its status as an untouched part of Latvia.
