Češis, Latvia: a medieval fairy tale town
Located in central Latvia, Češis is the historical and cultural center of the Viseme region. The 800-year-old city is famous for its well-preserved medieval architecture, including Češis Castle, one of the oldest castle ruins in the Baltic region. The stone streets of the old town, the wooden houses with red-tiled roofs and the old steeple of St. John's Church form a typical Hanseatic cityscape.
A tourist destination where nature meets humanity
The city is surrounded by the Cesis Nature Reserve and is crossed by the river Goya, which creates a unique landscape of a "castle in the middle of a lake". The Cesis Art Festival in the summer and the Christmas Market in the winter attract a large number of visitors. The nearby Goya National Park offers outdoor activities such as hiking and boating, while the famous Ligo Brewery continues the centuries-old tradition of local brewing.
Cultural heritage not to be missed
The Tsesis Castle Museum displays historical artifacts of the Livonian Order, and the Castle Park is a masterpiece of Romantic architecture. The Lutheran Church on the city square has the oldest pipe organ in the Baltic region. These attractions, together with local craft workshops and amber workshops, form a complete cultural experience circuit, making it the most popular short-haul destination around Riga.
