Mit heutigen Augen gesehen, scheint es unglaublich, dass noch vor etwa zwanzig Jahren an der Meeresküste speziell gebaute Gebäude mit beeindruckende Scheinwerfer gelegen waren. In der dunkle Zeit des Tages wurden die Scheinwerfer auf besondere Schienen auf die Platformen geschiebt, damit sie das Meeresaquatorium und Strand ausleuchten und die potentiellen Grenzverletzer aufweisen. Aus dem oben erwähneten Objekt sind nur die gebäude und daneben liegenden Gemäuer der Platforme erhalten geblieben, doch auch diese sind von den Meereswellen zerstört worden.

Die Holzkirche wurde 1766 erbaut, die neue Mauerkirche wurde anstelle der alten Kirche 1868 errichtet und eingeweiht. Der hohe Turm diente während der Tageszeit als Orientierungspunkt für Schiffe. 1993 wurde das Altarbild der Künstlerin Gunta Liepiņa-Grīva „Christus und Petrus auf dem Meer“ eingeweiht, das anstelle des verlorenen Gemäldes gemalt wurde. Am 18. November 1923 wurde im nebenliegenden Pfarrhaus von Mazirbe (heute das Zentrum für Rekollektion) die blau-grün-weiße livische Flagge eingeweiht. In der Umgebung des Pfarrhauses kann man Messsteine von Mazirbe, Zeugen des Schwarzen Todes (1710, 1711), finden. Der lateinische Text auf den Steinen deutete, dass die Liven des Küstengebietes durch Karl IX. und Pest überwältigt wurden. Der Text auf den Steinen ist nicht mehr lesbar, wurde jedoch entschlüsselt und ist bekannt. Auf dem Friedhof von Mazirbe ist das Denkmal des Alten Taizelis, ein Denkmal für die Eltern des Kapitäns A. Bertholds und die Grabstätte des legendären Werwolfs, zu sehen. |

Located in the southern part of Feimaņi, the church was built between 1756 and 1760. The local estate was owned by the Korff dynasty, and the denomination of the congregation changed when the family converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism. This church has the largest number of artistic monuments among all churches in the Rēzekne Administrative District, including a confessional bench, pews, an organ prospectus, silver cups and three altar wood engravings from the 18th century. Above the gate is a bell tower with four bells. During Holy Week, clappers are used instead of bells. They are about 2 m long and 1 m high and are reminiscent of ancient laundry rolls. Feimaņi is also home to one of three flag workshops in Latvia, and it has state-of-the-art equipment. The flag of Latgale was “born” here in ideological and physical terms. |
