This ancient Courlandian castle hill has remnants of an ancient city. Historical sources indicate that in 1263, the Courlandians handed the castle over to the Livonian Order without a battle and that the castle was then burned down. The name of the place, Skābaržkalns, has to do with the name of the city, because hornbeam trees in the area were once known as grobi. |
