Ropaži medieval castle

Ropazu Castle was built at the beginning of the 14th century as a fortress to protect Riga along the area between Adazi Castle and Salaspils. For the first time it was mentioned in written sources in 1322.

In 1559, the castle was destroyed during the Livonian War by the troops of Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

Only partial ruins of the castle stone walls have survived to this day. There is not a single photograph left reflecting the Ropazu medieval castle. The only information about the location and architecture of the castle is provided by archaeological research, which was carried out here three times.
