Detail InformationEdit
The castle is located in the Town of Bauska, amidst picturesque scenery on a strip of land between the Rivers Mūsa and Mēmele, not far from the place where they flow together forming the Lielupe. The Bauska Castle ensemble consists of two parts. The oldest, a Livonian Order’s castle, was built in mid-15th century, and only its ruins have survived. The newest, the residence of the Dukes of Courland, was built in the late 16th century.
Bauska Castle is a typical example of the 15th-17th century military architecture in Latvia. Its oldest part is the only stronghold the Livonian Order ever built specifically to resist firearms, but the more recent part is a residential castle fortified with bastions, defense walls and ramparts. The structure is the only partially preserved residence of the Kettlers, Dukes of Courland and Semigallia, as well as the only architectural monument in Latvia which illustrates the Mannerism style in the architecture of castles and applied and decorative art of the Duchy of Courland.
All those interested can explore the ruins of the Order’s castle, climb the central tower, and view the panorama of Bauska and the system of the former fortifications – bastions and walls. The part of the castle which was once the Dukes’ residence accommodates a permanent exposition and themed exhibits.
