Description
The emergence of Cesis can be found in the distant past 800 years ago. Its origins are connected to the Cesis Medieval castle, around which in the 13th century a town was built. Over the centuries the castle shared its destiny with the city of Cesis in battles with Russian, Polish and Swedish troops. Repeatedly rebuilt and expanded, the castle got its present architectural appearance at the beginning of the 16th century.
The access to the castle was blocked by ditches and three broad castle-fronts surrounded by strong stone walls. The first serious damage the castle sustained was during the Livonian War, but at the beginning of the Great Northern War it was abandoned and has never been used for military purposes again. Today the castle is the most impressive witness of local history and attracts many guests with the romantic charm of its medieval architecture.
