Located on the right bank of the Daugava, the church can be seen from various parts of Piedruja. The first wooden church was built at the instruction of Prince Jan Stapekha in 1632, and it burned down in 1759. The Baroque stone church that is there now was built in 1759 with its two towers, and it may have been designed by an Italian architect. The towers stand 27 m high, and under the church is a cellar. The towers have three bells – the largest one dates back to 1711, the middle-sized one was manufactured in 1896, and the smallest dates back to 1619. The largest bell weighs nearly 0.4 tonnes. Inside the church are many important cultural and historical monuments, including a central wooden altar with a painting of the assumption of Mary, three 18th century altars, a pulpit from the early 19th century, St Anton’s altar, a fresco of the Holy Trinity, church dishes from the 17th century, etc. The building is surrounded by a large garden with a stone fence and stone repositories at the corners of the garden. Two priests, Kazimirs Konvalevskis and Broņeslavs Stefanovičs are buried here. Stefanovičs played a major role in the restoration of the church after World War I. The Piedruja congregation first emerged during the first half of the 17th century. |

By far one of the most impressive Soviet military objects in Northern Vidzeme, this base has now been abandoned. There are buildings, underground bunkers, missile silos, areas of the firing of missiles, etc. This is one of the few remaining places in Latvia where a monument to Lenin still stands. The stone bust once stood in the central square of Alūksne. During the restoration of independence, it was taken down and moved to the missile base. We recommend that you bring a guide with you – otherwise it won’t be worth much.

Taču 1880. gadā vācu muižnieks sākas celt kungu māju neobaroka stilā. 20. gs. sākumā tā tika izpostīta, bet 1937. gadā to pārveidoja par skolu. Kokmuižā kādreiz atradusies alus darītava. Tas bija laika periodā no 17.- 20. gs. Tā bija viena no slavenākajām alusdarītavām visā Vidzemes guberņā. Mūsdienās var izstaigāt muižu pats vai gida pavadībā. Var aplūkot kungu māju, staļļu ēkas, muižas pārvaldnieka namu, bibliotēku, ekspozīciju, abas klētis un alus darītavas pagrabu, kā arī sfērisko saules pulksteni.
