A view of a froggy forest and a Castle of Livonian order in Sigulda, Latvia in winter day in Latvia #140666337
Description
This castle was constructed between 1207 and 1209 by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword. Today this castle lies mainly in picturesque ruins after being severely damaged during the Great Northern War. Some sections have been restored and you can now walk along the front ramparts and ascend a tower at the rear where there are wonderful views over the forested Gauja Valley. The castle had a wide outer forepart, where a bustling settlement of traders and craftsmen was formed. View of castle in Snow winter day in February 2019.
