The Turaida Museum Reserve preserves archaeological, historical, architectural, and art monuments that tell the history of a millennium, starting from the 11th century. A medieval castle, church, the Gauja Livs, historical manor estate, and the Hill of Dainas - each place has its own story.
The main events will take place in the 13th-century castle complex that will celebrate 810 this year. However, all visitors will have the chance to familiarize themselves with the thousand-year heritage of the Turaida historical center.
