The oldest wooden house in Kurzeme

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.

This is one of the largest buildings in town with gorgeous interior of gilded marble. It houses the city library.

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.

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.

A pedestrian street with several 17th- to 20th-century buildings, interesting doors and special windows.

In Kuldiga Castle Park, on the site of the old castle. Only fragments of the castle remain. Interesting snapshot to life in the mansion in the beginning of the 20th century. Museum also has a wide playing cards collection!
