Der Burgberg befindet sich in Laši, 0,2 km von der Straße Vecumnieki – Ilūkste entfernt. Dieser Hügel ist ein alter Burgberg der Selen, der vom 1. Jahrtausend vor Christus bis zum 10. – 12. Jh. nach Christus bewohnt war. Heute kann man auf dem Burgberg die Ruinen des ehemaligen Landgutkomplexes von Veclaši (Tiesenhausen) sehen, von dem sich nur das Wirtschaftsgebäude, die Fundamente des Schlosses, einige Torfragmente und der Park erhalten haben. Das eindrucksvolle Herrenhaus war am Ende des 19. Jhs. im neogotischen Stil gebaut worden. Bis zum Jahr 1920 befand sich das Landgut im Besitz der Grafen-Familie Przeździecki (zuvor – Tiesenhausen, Vietinghoff). Bevor Sie diesen Ort besuchen, schauen Sie bitte die alten Fotos von dem Herrenhaus im Internet an. Leider hat dieses Kulturdenkmal in den letzten 20 Jahren keine besonderen Renovierungen erlebt.

The monument dedicated to the Staburags cliff was installed in 2003.  Designed by the sculptress Solveiga Vasiļeva, the monument is known as “The Ear of God,” and it is installed in the place where the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant flooded one of Latvia’s most interesting geological monuments.  Staburags relates to many legends and stories told by rafters.  It stood 18.5 m high and was a sandstone cliff on the left bank of the Daugava River, dating back to the last Ice Age.  The Liepavots stream that trickled out of the cliff is now also underwater.  Staburags and the flooded Daugava quarry were once among the most popular tourist destinations in Latvia.
