There are several buildings from the estate that survive to the present day and were built by the Plater dynasty of noblemen. The old mansion that is on the side of the Count Plater Street was built in 1759 on the banks of the Jāņupīte River. The Baroque building was designed by an architect from Venice, Antonio Parazzo. Later the mansion was rebuilt, and after a new castle was erected, the Plater family spent its summers on the first floor of the old building. The second and third floors had a library with some 20,000 books. The noblemen managed to move most of the contents of the library to safer locations during World War I, when the library as such was destroyed. Work on the new castle of the Krāslava Estate (on the upper part of the Daugava River Valley) began in 1756 (architect Domenico Parazzo). Initially it was in the Baroque style, but reconstruction at the turn of the 18th century involved Classicism. Unique Rococo wall paintings with views of Rome have been discovered in the building. These were based on samples from castles in Poland and were painted during the 1760s and 1770. A high school used the new castle until the 1970s. Then the building was abandoned and gradually turned into a ruin. More recently there has been major renovation of the castle’s façade, and it now has a good appearance. Surrounding the structure is a romantic landscape park that dates back to the mid-18th century. It is on the hillocks of the Daugava River Valley and the valleys that cross it. An artificial grotto has been restored, and a statue of a lion stands guard over the site. The stairway has been placed in its historical location, and the park features pathways and a yard. |

The Great and Small Baltezers lakes, which are in a forested and sandy area, feature a unique system in Latvia – a water delivery zone with artesian wells and water filtration layers. The system was in place in 1904, when the Baltezers pump station was opened. In 1998, the Rīga Water Delivery Museum was opened in the station, providing information about the 400 years of water delivery in Latvia, including various mechanisms, ancient wooden pipelines, etc. Around the museum is a boiler house, along with a machinery house, accommodations for workers, and mechanical workshops. |

This route involves unique views that have never been seen before in Latvia! The impressively steep shoreline of the Baltic Sea begins a few kilometres to the North of Pāvilosta and ends shortly before Ošvalki, stretching for nearly 20 kilometres in all. Its most impressive and unusual forms are seen between Strante and Ulmale. The entire route leads down the western boundary of the former Iron Curtain, because the Baltic Sea coastline was militarised during the Soviet era and unavailable to most people. Remnants of former military objects and old tank routes in the dunes can still be seen. The largest biotopes of grey dunes stretch for several kilometres around Ventspils and Užava. These are unusual landscapes that can seldom be seen elsewhere in Europe. You can walk more than 10 kilometres here and not see another soul. Route information from Latvijas Lauku forums |
