The Western breakwater was finished in 1885 and stretches 860 metres into the sea. Together with the Eastern breakwater it regulates the flow of water from the Daugava River into the sea, also reducing silt levels in the river. The structure of the breakwater is based on piles that are strengthened with rocks. The breakwater has been reconstructed and strengthened several times. During the 19th century, it held a prison for offenders. Approximately ½ of the breakwater has been restored with cement, but the rest of it is in fairly sad shape. Polish King Stefan Báthory ordered the construction of a lighthouse alongside the Daugava in 1528, and the first map to show a lighthouse was produced in 1536. A 1721 list of lighthouses in the Russian Empire notes a pile of rocks at the location upon which a fire was lit. Later there were wooden and stone towers that were destroyed during wars. The current Daugavgrīva lighthouse was built in 1957 and is 35 m high. Its light can be seen at a distance of 18 nautical miles. |

The cosy land road along the sea is 1 km long, and it offers a look at the wonderful aspects of the village. To the right are rocks from the sea, as well as miniature flower gardens on the seashore with tempting benches and overturned boats. On the side of the shore is the Kaltene library, which is more than 100 years ago. It was initially a summer home for Baron Nolken, and it was built in 1899. Later it was rebuilt several times and took on new roles. An elementary school was installed here in 1926, after which it became a club and then, in 1992, a primary school once again. The path runs along beautiful seashore homesteads, among which one can find the former homes of old fishermen and ship builders such as Burliņi. At one time, the Žulnieki portage at Smilgas was the site of the kiln of blacksmith Pēteris Valdemārs. He was the main blacksmith for ships between Kaltene and Upesgrīve. (Source: Roja TIC) |

This is a unique small town in a certain sense, and it is the only one in the Baltic States which has remained in place since the 17th and 18th century. The town is around the small Alekšupīte River, and in some places the stream runs along the walls of the buildings. Because of this fact and the many bridges that are in town, Kuldīga has become known as “the Venice of Latvia.” Baznīcas, Liepājas, Kalna and other streets are full of interesting cultural monuments. |
