Found on the right bank of the Daugava, approximately half a kilometre upriver from the Skrīveri Agricultural Institute, the hill is in a place where the bank of the Daugava River Valley is split by the deep Ašķere stream valley. The castle hill was occupied beginning in the first millennium BC, with antiquities from the Lettigalian and Livonian tribes found there. During the 13th century, a brick castle was built on the hill, but it was sacked during the 17th century. Nothing remains of the castle. The castle hill is also known as Raven Hills, and it offers one of the most beautiful views of the central part of the Daugava. In the direction of Rīga, there is a field with a white cross that represents an ancient church. There is a hiking trail along the Ašķere stream. The area is well improved with four trails. The longest is the Daugava trail (10 km). |

All of these locations are freely accessible, but be careful if you go inside the former forts – they were blown up at one time and may remain dangerous.

Before the stone Turaida Castle was built beginning in 1214, there was a wooden castle there that had been built by the Livs. The Turaida Castle was owned by the bishop of Rīga. It remained in place until 1776, when it burned down. The initial entrance to the castle's main tower was 9 m above ground, and in 1936, a viewing platform was installed at a height of 27 metres. There is no other view in Latvia that is like the one from the Turaida Castle! Restoration work at the castle began in 1953, when the upper level of the tower was restored and a roof was installed. Also restored was the former granary, which was home to an exhibition about the Sigulda region, along with the semi-circular tower and the southern segment of the castle complex, complete with the full reconstruction of its historical interior. Archaeological work was done around the castle between 1976 and 2001, and this led to the restoration of a large part of the complex. The castle now contains a museum exhibition related to the historical events of the surrounding area. The Turaida Castle is in the Turaida Museum Reserve (see above). |
