Latvian Medieval Castle. Exploring Sigulda, part 1
Latvia. Sigulda is situated on a picturesque stretch of the primeval Gauja river valley. Because of the reddish Devonian sandstone which forms steep rocks and caves on both banks of the river, Sigulda has been called the Switzerland of Vidzeme. My travel vlog: Trip to Latvia.

Indian summer in Sigulda, town in the Vidzeme Region of Latvia, 53 kilometres (33 miles) from the capital city Riga. There are different versions of the origin of the name Sigulda. One of the most plausible variants is the derivative of the German name Segewold from Sieg + Wald, which means victory forest and indicates the victory of the Crusaders and Semigallians in the battle of the Livs in 1206.
Zelta rudens Sigulda. Latviešiem par Siguldu nerakstīšu. Pašiem jāzin kas un kā :) Varbūt ir jāpiemin, ka pastāv dažādas versijas vietvārda Sigulda izcelsmei. Viens no ticamākajiem variantiem ir vācu nosaukuma Segewold atvasinājums no Sieg + Wald, kas nozīmē uzvaras mežs un norāda uz krustnešu un zemgaļu uzvaru kaujā ar līviem netālu no Satezeles pils 1206. gadā.
Золотая осень в Сигулде, городе в центральной части Латвии, административном центре Сигулдского края. Город расположен в 50 км к северо-востоку от Риги на реке Гауя, в пределах национального парка Гауя. Существуют разные версии происхождения названия «Сигулда». Одним из наиболее правдоподобных вариантов является производное от немецкого имени Segewold от Sieg + Wald, что означает «лес победы» и указывает на победу крестоносцев и полугаллийцев в битве при Ливах в 1206 году.
Goldenen Herbst in Sigulda (Segewold), einer Stadt in der lettischen Region Vidzeme, 53 Kilometer von der Hauptstadt Riga entfernt. Es gibt verschiedene Versionen der Herkunft des Namens Sigulda. Eine der plausibelsten Varianten ist die Ableitung des deutschen Namens Segewold von Sieg + Wald, der Siegwald bedeutet und den Sieg der Kreuzfahrer und Semigallier in der Schlacht der Livs im Jahr 1206 anzeigt.
Turaida Castle, Sigulda, Latvia 2013.g. (Turaidas pils, Турайдский замок)
Turaida Castle (Latvian: Turaidas pils, German: Treiden, Treyden, Russian: Турайдский замок; meaning Thor's garden in Livonian) is a recently reconstructed medieval castle in Turaida, in the Vidzeme region of Latvia, on the opposite bank of the Gauja River from Sigulda.
Turaida castle dominates the Museum Reserve and is visually, its most impressive element. When seen from the air, or the opposite bank of the river Gauja in Sigulda, Turaida castle rises above the trees like mighty ship built of red brick. The forepart of this imaginative ship is formed by the northern forecastle gate tower. The main tower, which is the highest one, is like a spar in the middle of the ship, and the rear of the ship is the southern forecastle with its tower shaped southern section.
Building of the castle was started in 1214 according to directions given by Albert, archibishop of Riga, at the place where previously has stood the wooden castle of Liv leader Kaupo. A Castellum type fortress was built and named Fredeland, which translates as Land of Peace. This name was not popular so the local name Turaida has survived until the present day. Improving the defensive system of the castle continued in later centuries -- in the 14th century, the tower shaped southern section was built, at the beginning of 15th century, when fire arms were invented, the semi rounded western tower was built. Along with the fortifications, domestic buildings and living accommodation were erected in the inner yard of the castle. Minor reconstruction work was carried out in 17th century although the castle started to lose its strategic importance. After a fire in 1776 it was not reconstructed and in the course of time it fell into ruins.
By the beginning of the 20th century, only separate fragments of the defensive wall and some buildings -- main tower, semi rounded tower and western section, were left. From 1976 regular archeological excavations were carried out, which were followed by restoration and conservation works; as a result the castle has regained part of its earlier shape. Exhibitions about the history of the brick castle and Gauja Livs are available in restored buildings. From the viewing place of the main tower, you can see the unique landscape of picturesque Gauja Gauja valley and the territory of Turaida Museum Reserve.
Средневековый Турайдский замок основан в 1214 году по указанию Рижского епископа Алберта. Строительство замка продолжалось вплоть до 16 века. Замок был одной из резиденций Рижского епископа. После распада Ливонского государства - частью собственности поместья Турайда. Во время пожара в 1776 году замок сгорел дотла и не был восстановлен. Во дворе построили жилой дом для владельцев поместья. Романтические развалины привлекали внимание туристов уже в 18 и19 веке. В 1936 году в круглой башне была открыта смотровая площадка. Основательную реставрацию замка начали в 1953 году, а с 1973 году ведутся археологические исследования, реставрация и реконструкция замка, которые продолжались более 25 лет. Теперь Турайдский Средневековый замок включен в комплекс Турайдского музея-заповедника.

Likteņdārzs no putna lidojuma! (The Garden Of Destiny In Latvia!)
DĀVANA:
Ar visas Latvijas tautas atbalstu uz salas Daugavā, Koknesē, top Likteņdārzs. Tā ir vieta, kur satiekas pagātne, tagadne un nākotne. Gan cilvēka, gan valsts. Satiekas, lai dotu mierinājumu pagātnei, spēku šodienai un iedvesmotu piepildīt savus sapņus nākotnē.
Kā pagājušajā gadsimtā paaudzes aiz sevis atstāja Brīvības pieminekli, tā mēs aiz sevis atstāsim Likteņdārzu.
IDEJA:
Shunmyo Masuno - ainavu arhitekts no Japānas - ir uzzīmējis, kā jāizskatās Likteņdārzam. Viņa projekts 207 darbu konkurencē starptautiskas žūrijas vērtējumā tika atzīts par labāko. Projektu īstenot palīdz Likteņdārza daudzfunkcionālās sabiedriskās ēkas autori - arhitekti Andris Kronbergs, Raimonds Saulītis un SIA ARHIS arhitetekti, kā arī Tu, Tavi draugi, radinieki un visi pārējie Latvijas iedzīvotāji!
THE GIFT:
With the support of the entire Latvian nation the Garden of Destiny is becoming a reality on an island in Koknese on the Daugava. It is a place where the past, the present and the future of the people as well as the nation merge...merge to give solace to the past, strength to the present and inspiration to follow your dream in the future. Just as generations left the Statue of Freedom to us, we will leave the Garden of Destiny as our legacy.
THE IDEA:

Jaunmoku Castle, Latvia (Замок Яунмоку, Латвия)
The building (ca.1901), initially intended as a hunting lodge for Riga Mayor George Armitstead, is located outside the city of Tukums (Kurzeme). The design master is the Baltic-German architect Wilhelm Boxlaff. Among the interior features are a Dutch tile wood stove-heater with paintings of the well-known Riga panorama.
Both the Red Army and the Nazi occupation armies found the Manor house useful for their specific needs; initially it was a School for Sergeants (Russian), later, a radio station (German), but near the end of the war - a military hospital (German). In the post-war Soviet period, it was practically everything: office building, retail outlet, movie theater, apartment house. The premises was widely used, but, alas, physical care for it was sorely lacking. With sections of the edifice crumbling, the Forestry Ministry took over in 1974. The Manor’s restoration was launched, and it lasted over 20 years.
Замок, задуманный как охотничий дом мэра Риги Джорджа Армитстеда, находится в Тукумсском крае и построен по проекту балтийско-немецкого архитектора Вильгельма Бокслафа.
В замке сохранилась печь с уникальными росписями – видами Риги.
В годы Второй мировой войны замок использовали и советская, и немецкая армия. В начале войны здесь размешалась школа сержантов советской армии, затем немецкая радиостанция, а в конце войны – немецкий военный госпиталь. В послевоенные годы в замке располагались учреждения, кинозал, магазины и квартиры. Помещения никто не ремонтировал, и в 1974 году частично разрушенный замок перешел в ведение Министерства лесного хозяйства и лесной промышленности. Началось восстановление замка, которое продлилось более 10 лет.

One Night in Sigulda, Latvia at Aparjods
Old Sigulda Castle was the last of the three today. Enough! A short bus transfer to the very, very nice Aparjods with individual units and great rooms. Murphy''s Law that the one-nighters always have the nicest rooms.
Aparjods also had a truly great restaurant with delicious food. Tomorrow, we'd bus back into Estonia and ferry over to Muhu and Saaremaa Islands for something a little different...
