The estate in Milzkalne that is along the banks of the Slocene River dates back to the 15th century, when it was built as a closed complex for the Livonian Order. It is the only fortified estate of its type to have survived to the present day, and it was once used as a hiding place for aristocrats during an attack. The gate towers with their ornate weather vanes were built in the late 17th century, and the ancillary buildings date back to the 18th and 19th century. A brick wall with firing apertures survives. The Latvian Road Museum is in one of the wings of the complex, while the former mansion offers accommodations, tours and tastings of local goodies. |

On the shore of the Daugava River, to the East of Lielupes Street and South-east of Jātnieku Street, there are the remnants of four battery positions that were blown up in their day. The batteries had 152-mm cannons, and this was part of the former system of fortifications in Rīga (see also Komētforts, the Daugavgrīva fortress, and the fortifications of Mangaļsala). The aim was to protect the city from invaders who came from the sea. From the top of the batteries you can see the Daugava and the northern segment of the manmade Krievu Island (a huge pile of sand). It does have to be said that the condition of this historical monument is quite pitiful.

The monument dedicated to the Staburags cliff was installed in 2003. Designed by the sculptress Solveiga Vasiļeva, the monument is known as “The Ear of God,” and it is installed in the place where the reservoir of the Pļaviņas hydroelectric power plant flooded one of Latvia’s most interesting geological monuments. Staburags relates to many legends and stories told by rafters. It stood 18.5 m high and was a sandstone cliff on the left bank of the Daugava River, dating back to the last Ice Age. The Liepavots stream that trickled out of the cliff is now also underwater. Staburags and the flooded Daugava quarry were once among the most popular tourist destinations in Latvia. |
