The outdoor area is ideal for sports games, activities and summer celebrations, while the indoor spaces provide rooms of various formats for seminars, conferences and workshops. Additionally, relaxation in a sauna house with a hot tub is also offered.

The complex offers facilities for organizing various events:

The complex is a site of cultural and historical significance, connected to one of the most outstanding representatives of Latvia’s first period of independence industrial heritage – Roberts Hiršs (1895–1972), owner and director of the textile company “Rīgas Audums” and a patron of the University of Latvia. He bequeathed “Ratnieki” to the University of Latvia in 1972.

University of Latvia Recreation and Conference Complex “Ratnieki” is a place where celebration, work and relaxation come together amid the beauty of nature.

The Jaunmoku palace is just 75 km from Rīga in a quiet and hilly Kurzeme landscape. The palace was built in 1901 after a design by Wilhelm Bockslaff, and it was the hunting castle of Rīga Mayor George Armitstead at first.  The greatest and most tempting treasure in the castle are the pot-bellied stoves, the most valuable and ornate one having been manufactured in honour of the 700^th anniversary of the city of Rīga.  Today the castle welcomes visitors both old and young who wish to relax from everyday stresses by strolling around the castle park, visiting the forest museum, and making a personal Latvian design in the Sign Centre.  Newlyweds just adore this location, because the pergola of the park features birdsong and a fountain which are perfect for joining together two hearts and saying “I do.”  Romantic leisure will also be enjoyed by those who dine in the castle’s White Salon, take a picnic on the seashore, or spend the night in the castle’s elegant rooms.  We offer horse-drawn cart rides through the castle park and its historical linden alley. You can taste teas and rose jams.  We have rooms for seminars and celebrations, delicious meals in our restaurant, and accommodations in a three-star hotel.  This is a time where time, nature and music all flow together.
