There are several buildings from the estate that survive to the present day and were built by the Plater dynasty of noblemen. The old mansion that is on the side of the Count Plater Street was built in 1759 on the banks of the Jāņupīte River. The Baroque building was designed by an architect from Venice, Antonio Parazzo. Later the mansion was rebuilt, and after a new castle was erected, the Plater family spent its summers on the first floor of the old building. The second and third floors had a library with some 20,000 books. The noblemen managed to move most of the contents of the library to safer locations during World War I, when the library as such was destroyed. Work on the new castle of the Krāslava Estate (on the upper part of the Daugava River Valley) began in 1756 (architect Domenico Parazzo). Initially it was in the Baroque style, but reconstruction at the turn of the 18th century involved Classicism. Unique Rococo wall paintings with views of Rome have been discovered in the building. These were based on samples from castles in Poland and were painted during the 1760s and 1770. A high school used the new castle until the 1970s. Then the building was abandoned and gradually turned into a ruin. More recently there has been major renovation of the castle’s façade, and it now has a good appearance. Surrounding the structure is a romantic landscape park that dates back to the mid-18th century. It is on the hillocks of the Daugava River Valley and the valleys that cross it. An artificial grotto has been restored, and a statue of a lion stands guard over the site. The stairway has been placed in its historical location, and the park features pathways and a yard. |

Located on the right bank of the Daugava, the church can be seen from various parts of Piedruja. The first wooden church was built at the instruction of Prince Jan Stapekha in 1632, and it burned down in 1759. The Baroque stone church that is there now was built in 1759 with its two towers, and it may have been designed by an Italian architect. The towers stand 27 m high, and under the church is a cellar. The towers have three bells – the largest one dates back to 1711, the middle-sized one was manufactured in 1896, and the smallest dates back to 1619. The largest bell weighs nearly 0.4 tonnes. Inside the church are many important cultural and historical monuments, including a central wooden altar with a painting of the assumption of Mary, three 18th century altars, a pulpit from the early 19th century, St Anton’s altar, a fresco of the Holy Trinity, church dishes from the 17th century, etc. The building is surrounded by a large garden with a stone fence and stone repositories at the corners of the garden. Two priests, Kazimirs Konvalevskis and Broņeslavs Stefanovičs are buried here. Stefanovičs played a major role in the restoration of the church after World War I. The Piedruja congregation first emerged during the first half of the 17th century. |

There are records to show that there has been a church at this location since the 17th century, and the current one was built between 1792 and 1794 by the chief construction specialist of the city of Rīga, Christopher Haberland. He designed the cupola-shaped building, with the cupola ensuring good acoustics inside the building. The altar is opposite the entrance door. Between the columns of the building is an altar painting showing Christ and St Peter on a storm-ravaged sea. Other important objects include chalices from the 18th or 19th century, candelabras, etc. The building was restored in 2014. To the South from it is the Katlakalns cemetery, which is the final resting place of the distinguished Baltic German writer Garlieb Merkel (1769-1850). He was of great importance in ensuring the end of indentured servitude in Latvia. |

Pils iela pazīstama ar jūgendstila apbūvi, kas veidojusies 19. un 20. gs. mijā veco vienstāvu ēku vietā. Pirmā ēka Pils ielā 30 (jaušama jūgendstila ietekme) tika uzcelta 1901. g. Pils un Kuģinieku ielas krustojumā (Pils iela 40) paceļas 1905. g. celtais Vulfsona trīsstāvu īres nams, ko var pazīt pēc neobarokālā stila torņa. Netālu esošo ēku Pils ielā 31 un 38 (Mūzikas skola) fasādes jau ir uzskatāmas par raksturīgiem jūgendstila paraugiem. Savukārt, ēku Kuģinieku ielā 2 uzskata par vienu no skaistākajiem Latvijas jūgendstila namiem ārpus Latvijas galvaspilsētas. Uzmanība jāpievērš arī ēkām Pils ielā 54 un 60. |

Vienu kilometru garā lokveida taka, kas ved pa lielāku nacionālā parka meža masīvu, uzskatāmi attēlo Žemaitijas augstienes un tuvākās apkārtnes reljefa veidošanās vēsturi. No takas augstākā punkta – Mikitai kalna, kas ir sens pagānu upurkalns, paveras (ainaviska stiga) tālākas apkārtnes skats. Kā takas interesantākie apskates objekti ir jāmin teikām apvītais akmens ar Velna pēdu un ar akmeņiem izliktas akas paliekas. |
