The Latvian National History Museum (LNVM) has inaugurated a new permanent exhibition titled 'Castles of Livonia' at Riga Castle. The exhibition focuses on one of the most significant monuments of the Livonian era: medieval stone castles. These castles are considered key witnesses to the period when local society was forming and strengthening in the territory of modern Latvia. The display provides insights into the architectural, historical, and cultural aspects associated with these structures. The exhibition is housed in Riga Castle, itself a historically important venue. LNVM is the leading state historical institution, responsible for preserving and promoting Latvia's material heritage. The new exhibition enriches the museum's offerings and allows visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the Livonian period. Further details about the exhibition's content and opening hours are available on the museum's website.
