The Livonian Order Castle of Sigulda, also known as Sigulda Medieval Castle, is a medieval fortress in the Sigulda region of Latvia, situated on the edge of the Gauja Valley. Originally constructed in 1207 as a castellum-type fortress, it was later transformed into a convent-like building and served as the residence of the Land Marshal of the Livonian Order until 1432.
A popular attraction for tourists, the castle's ruins were strengthened several times in the 20th century due to a high visitor influx. In 2012, the castle reopened its walls, inviting everyone to explore its surroundings. Wander around and enjoy a spectacular view of the Gauja Valley. A unique feature that attracts both tourists and locals is the opportunity to climb the walls of the North Tower and the Main Gate Tower.
