ABOUT US

The Āraiši Lake Castle is the only reconstruction of a 9th-10th century fortified settlement in Europe. The park is distinguished by its unique archaeological findings, the reconstruction’s location in its original setting and the well-preserved cultural landscape typical of Vidzeme, which contrasts positively with the modern urban environment. A guided tour of the ancient Latgalian way of life and building traditions is available. Programmes for different age groups, both children and adults, which help to better understand and feel the life of the ancient people in the Lake District.
