The first wooden church was built here in 1252, and the brick church was built in 1665. It burned down and was restored in 1672, but it was rebuilt in later years. There are important artistic monuments in the interior of the church – the altar, the pulpit and the painted organ. Legendary Duke Jacob Kettler of Courland (1610-1682) was baptised in the church and married Princess Charlotte Louise from Brandenburg in it. During the Soviet era, the church housed a museum and a concert hall. According to legend, the name of the church is based on a woman called Catherine, who donated funds to build the church, was subjected to lies, tortured and then proclaimed as a saint. Above the side entrance is a medallion of a woman with a crown of thorns, torture equipment and a sword in her hand. Elements of this story can also be seen in the herald of Kuldīga. The steeple of the church offers a good look at the roofs of the ancient part of the city. |

It is a location which is governed by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, and 186 species of nesting birds have been identified there.

There are forests, fishing villages and damp areas which ensure a great diversity in landscapes and species. The flood-land plains of the lake and the sea are grazing grounds for wild livestock – horses, blue cows, etc. Several bird-watching towers are open to visitors, as is the Orchid trail. The Centre for Ornithological Research is located on the eastern bank of Lake Engure. A unique floating house built by ornithologists is located on the lake.

Vieta, ko nekādi nevar uzskatīt par tūrisma objektu, bet tajā pat laikā tas ir Latvijas mērogā nozīmīgs kultūras un vēstures piemineklis, ko nevar nepieminēt! Laikā no 1923. – 1943. gadam muižas pilī atradās Latvijā zināmākā mājturības skola, kurā mācījās izslavētās kaucmindietes! Tagad muižas pils ir pamesta, avārijas stāvoklī un apskatāma tikai no ārpuses un „pa gabalu”. Ap 1780. gadu celtā pils, kas 1909. – 1912. g. tika pārbūvēta pusloka būvapjomā, ir Latvijai diezgan unikāls arhitektūras paraugs. |
