Atrodas Raiņa ielā 18. Baznīca celta 1911. - 1912. g. pēc Stukmaņu muižas nomnieka barona R. Noldes iniciatīvas. 1. pasaules karā cietušo baznīcu atjaunoja un no jauna iesvētīja 1921. g. Baznīcā apskatāma altārglezna “Kristus augšāmcelšanās”. Dievnams tāpat kā daudzas citas pilsētas ēkas ir būvētas no apkaimē sastopamā izejmateriāla – dolomīta. Interesanti, ka tornis būvēts ēkas vienā malā – asimetriski. |

This is one of the few places in the world where lamprey eels are caught at the industrial level and with a fishing method that has been used for the past 150 years – a weir that stretches across the river and has creels along it. There are three weirs in all on the Salaca River. A local fisherman will teach you about the process and allow you to taste and purchase roast lampreys. |

Rīgas - Daugavpils šosejas (A 6) 157. kilometrā skats jāpavērš Daugavas (rietumu) virzienā, kur cauri koku alejai klajā laukā 50 m attālumā no ceļa iegūlis Vaiķu akmens (7 m garš, 4,7 m plats un 1,7 m augsts). Akmens, kura tilpumu vērtē ~ 45 m³, pēc formas atgādina plakanu galdu. Nostāsti vēsta, ka to šeit atnesis velns. Kā jau šādiem akmeņiem „pienākas”, stāsta, ka te pusdienojis gan Krievijas cars Pēteris I, gan pats Napoleons. |

This is one of the few craftswomen in Latvia who does not use a potter’s wheel in her work. Instead she works in the “snail” or “sausage” technique that was typical of the Bronze Age. Her artworks are distinguished by a diversity of form and functionality. Children can attend master’s classes. You can take tours, take part in the opening of the kiln, and purchase fumigated ceramics products. |

Pareizticība Traķu apkārtnē „ienāca” jau Lietuvas dižkunigaiša Ģedimina (Gediminas) valdīšanas laikā (1316. – 1341.). Līdz 18. gs. beigām no astoņām pareizticīgo baznīcām Traķos nebija saglabājusies neviena, tādēļ pareizticīgo draudze 1863. g. uzcēla jaunu baznīcu, kas saglabājusies līdz mūsdienām un apskatāma Vitauta ielā (Vytauto gatve) 32. |

You can produce your own beer stein, candelabra or teacup with your name on it, and it will be fired in the same kiln which the master craftsman uses. He will wait for you to return to the location to pick up what you have designed. You can purchase clay dishware, work with clay, help to open the kiln, take a tour, and listen to stories about pottery traditions in Latgale. |
