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. |

The church was built from 1801 until 1804 by Fridrihs Veits from Cēsis. At the centre of the altar is a painting, “Christ on the Cross,” which dates to the latter half of the 19th century. The bell was cast in 1895, and the organ was built in 1914. In front of the church is a 1930 monument to those who fell during World War I and Latvia’s liberation battles (sculptor Kārlis Zāle, architect Aleksandrs Birzenieks). Restoration of the façade and interior of the church was finished quite recently. |

Akmensraga tāpat kā Kolkasraga apkaime jau kopš seniem laikiem ir bijusi zināma kā kuģotājiem bīstama vieta, jo te atrodas viena no lielākajām Latvijas piekrastes kuģu kapsētām. Bīstamības fakts slēpjas apstāklī, ka Akmensraga apkārtnē mainās krasta virziens un jūrā iestiepjas akmeņaini sēkļi. Pirmo signāluguni Akmensragā iededza 1879. g., bet 10 gadus vēlāk uzcēla 28 m augstu koka bāku. 1911. g. uzcēla mūra bāku, kuru sagrāva 1. pasaules kara laikā – 1916. g. Mūsdienās redzamā (augstums 37,5 m, uzbūvēta 1921. g.). Padomju laikā visas bākas bija militāri – stratēģiski objekti un šeit strādāja hidrogrāfiskais dienests un jūras novērošanas punkts. Bākas apkārtnē - mežā vēl joprojām redzamas bijušās padomju armijas ēku drupas. Apskatāma no iekšpuses. |
