Burg Cesis
Castle / Castle
The partially preserved castle of Cesis with its medieval charm is a very impressive monument of history. The castle stands today in the architectural form of the late 15th century. Access to the castle was made more difficult in the Middle Ages by the defensive ditches and the three large surrounding outer baileys. The walls suffered their first serious damage during the Livonian War (1558-1583) and at the beginning of the Great Northern War the castle suffered significant damage, so that it could never be used for military purposes again. Today you can climb the tower and the basements of the towers with candle lanterns. You can see the old handicraft in the reconstructed smithy or let costumed women show you how to use the old garden herbs in the garden.
