Icons in the building date back to the early 20th century, and a statue of the Fatima Mother of God is in the yard near the entrance. |

Work on the park began in end of 18th century, when it was a landscape park with trails for strolling and a system of pathways, benches and bridges. The 196-ha park is one of the largest estate parks in Latvia, and in dendrological terms it is one of the richest ones, with more than 200 varieties of trees and bushes, including 127 foreign ones. The park encircles the village of Kazdanga, including the Kazdanga Castle and the territory to its north, where you will find the burying grounds of the Manteuffel family. These were established at the very beginning of the 20th century, but the work was interrupted by World War I. The park features leisure areas and decorative elements. The castle was built around 1800 by the European-level architect Johann Gregor Berlitz after a design by architect Giacomo Quarenghi. The ensemble included a Cavalier House, a granary, a residential home, a stable, a bridge across the valley and other structures. An agricultural school was opened in the castle in 1924. Today it is the Kazdanga Museum, with the local Tourism Information Centre.. |

After the establishment of the Livonian state, the pope consecrated this land in honour of the holy Virgin Mary. This created Terra Mariana or Māra’s Land. The road between Ludza, Rēzekne and Daugavpils runs along an ancient trading route that once connected Vilnius and Kaunas to Pskov and, later, to St Petersburg and Warsaw. Very beautiful and poetically picturesque with rivers and lakes that are in Latvia’s forested land and among hillocks that offer a wonderful look at the distant horizon – that is Māra’s Land, which is also known as the Land of Blue Lakes. Lake Rāzna is the second largest in Latvia, and when the weather is clear, Mākoņkalns Hill or Padebešu Hill is reflected in its water. Atop the hill are the oldest ruins of fortifications in Latgale, dating back to the Livonian era. Rēzekne is known as the heart of Latgale, because it has always been the centre for Lettigalian culture and education. People contributed donations for the 1939 construction of a monument to Māra of Latgale. It is dedicated to those who fell during Latvia’s independence battles and the liberation of Latgale. The monument also speaks to the Catholic identity of Latgale. The monument was rededicated on August 13, 1992, the date of the assumption of the Virgin Mary. A Catholic festival at Aglona and the monument to Māra of Latgale – these are integral components of this part of Latvia. The present day is marked out clearly by the new Gors concert hall in Rēzekne, and well as the Zeimuļš student interest education centre. Daugavpils is Latvia’s second city and an important centre for industry, culture, education and sports. The Daugavpils pellet factory is unique, and the oldest pellet casting tower in Europe is now open to visitors, as are the restored Daugavpils fortress and the new Rothko Museum. Not far from Daugavpils are the small Birķeneļi semi-estate and the Rainis Museum. Latgale was the “land of new days” for the poet, and the museum now hosts gatherings of young artists and craftspeople. The ancient tradition of ceramic art that is typical specifically of this part of Latvia is still thriving. |

Rīgas HES komplekss ir savienots ar Doles salas austrumdaļu. Rīgas HES ir pēdējā no elektrostacijām Daugavas HES kaskādē. Tās celtniecību uzsāka 1966. g., bet pirmo hidroagregātu iedarbināja 1974. gadā, tā projektēto jaudu sasniedzot divus gadus vēlāk. Rīgas HES uzstādīti seši hidroagregāti, kuru kopējā jauda ir 402 000 kW. No Rīgas – Daugavpils šosejas (A 6) labi redzamas Rīgas HES dambis. Rīgas HES dzelmē palika daudzi kultūras un vēstures pieminekļi, t.sk. Laukskolas apmetne, kas ir vecākā zināmā cilvēku apmešanās vieta tagadējā Latvijas teritorijā. |

The Old School of Druviena is alongside the Druviena-Liezēre road. The historical school building became home to a museum in 1964. The school is closely linked to the great Latvian writer Jānis Poruks (1871-1911), and a memorial room to him has been installed in the building. On the second floor, you can look at a classroom, sit on an old-time school bench and try to imagine yourself as a schoolchild long ago. Interesting exhibits include boxes in which children brought food from home – the same ones which were used by two of Poruks’ most popular characters, Cibiņš and Buņģis. |
