Encircled by apartment buildings, some of which are abandoned, the Tosmare water tower, which was built in 1905 in a pseudo-Gothic style and is made of red bricks, stands tall and proud. It is 37 metres high. Steam pumps were once used to pump underground water into the tower (the pumps have survived to this very day). Water was delivered three times a day to the residents of Karosta. The tower is no longer used for its original purpose, however. The tower can be viewed from the outside at any time. This is a unique aspect of Latvia’s industrial heritage.

This convent-type castle was built in the mid-13th century by the bishopric of Piltene. Annexes were added in the 16th and 19th centuries to create a typical internal courtyard. The Neo-Gothic forms of the castle’s façade date back to the 1830s. From the 16th century to the 1920, the castle was owned by the noble Behr family. After it was burned down during the 1905 Revolution, the castle was rebuilt in two years’ time. The castle is known for ghost stories, tales of elf weddings, and stains of blood in the Red Room that are supposedly the result of a murder. A fireplace was built to hide the stains, but they reappeared. Since the privatisation of the castle, the interior has been restored with halls and cellars that are decorated with elements that are typical to the castle. Its rooms and viewing tower are open to the public. In the park, visitors will find the Alley of Love and the elf oak tree. |
