A pedestrian street with several 17th- to 20th-century buildings, interesting doors and special windows.
Wooden architecture, second part of 1630s, red-tile roof, splendid weather-vane, bridge of Venice of Kuldīga, lodging.
This small tributary of the Venta runs through the old town, right alongside the walls of many buildings, which is why Kuldīga has been called the Venice of Latvia. The buildings of the town centre were constructed as a suburb to Kuldīga Castle. In 1701, during the Great Northern War, the Swedish army invaded Kuldīga Castle and in 1709 it became uninhabitable, but in the 19th-century the castle ruins were relocated.
A Lutheran church that was built in 1252 and later rebuilt with baroque style wood carvings on the altar. The church was given the name of St Catherine, the patroness of the town. Duke Jacob's baptism and his wedding to Princess Louisa Charlotte of Brandenburg took place here. Church is open for visitors and it's possible to go up the tower.
Founded in 2003. Visitors may see more than 15 sculptures characterizing Latvia, its strength, unity and love.
Pleasant park with sculptures around the ruins of the castle. Sculptures by Latvian sculptor Līvija Rezevska, an Honorary Citizen of Kuldīga. Most of them were made during Soviet era.
