The environmental object “SUITI MEETING PLACE” was established during an international arts plénière in Jūrkalne, and the originator of the idea was the musician Igo. Sculptor Ivars Miķelsons with assistants Didzis Grodzs and Juris Krafts produced the environmental object. The idea of marking out the Suiti cultural space among Gudenieki, Alsunga and Jūrkalne in nature began in 2013, when the first Suiti meeting place was established where the Gudenieki-Ēdole and Alsunga-Basi roads cross. The second meeting place was established the next year where the Kuldīga-Alsunga-Jūrkalne road crosses the town in the direction of Jūrkalne past the Alsunga centre. The third Suiti meeting place was established in Jūrkalne. The objects were established in partnership with local governments and landowners by the “Vēju sēta” association. |

The New Sigulda Castle was built between 1878 and 1881 for Prince Kropotkin. Its tower was extended in 1937. From 1923 until 1940, the building was known as the Writers Castle, and it was managed by the Latvian Press Association. During the Soviet era, a cardiology sanatorium was housed there. In 1993, the Sigulda City Council took over the castle, and since 2003 it has been home to the Sigulda Administrative District Council. The wooden residential building (mid-19th century) in which the Kropotkin family lived still survives, as do the granary (late 18th or early 19th century), the gardener's house (19th century), and the stone wall (19th century).
