Detail InformationEdit

Kuldīga is a small and attractive town in Kurzeme which has always been admired and praised by poets and painters. The city centre, which developed in the 17 th -18 th centuries, has still preserved the old wooden buildings which form small and narrow streets. A work shop, where colorful blankets and beautiful headscarves with national designs are woven, is located near the Tourist Information Centre. In spring and autumn, an interesting phenomenon can be observed at the waterfall as spawning fish try to get over the waterfall by jumping through the air.
The historical centre of Kuldīga started developing as far back as the 13 th century and has preserved urban planning elements dating back to periods from the 13 th to the 19 th century. Narrow streets, peculiar one-storey houses with a chimney in the middle, and red roof tiles are still preserved in the historical centre. In 1368 Kuldīga became a Hanseatic City. Kuldīga town had neither modern roads, nor a railway which would change its architecture, so the town has preserved the provincial style typical of it, which has also granted to it the status of cultural historical heritage.
The historical buildings of the town and its nature create a unique, harmonious ensemble, incomparable to anything found in Latvia or elsewhere in Europe. Historically the Venta River and Venta waterfall have played a significant role in the development of Kuldīga.
