Cesvaine is a historic town in the Viseme region of central Latvia, situated on the banks of the Gaia River, 150 kilometers from the capital city of Rio. With a population of about 3,000, it is known for its peaceful nature and cultural heritage.
The town's most famous castle, Česvajne, was built in 1896 in the neo-Gothic style and is now a national cultural monument. The Old Town retains a cluster of 19th century timber-framed buildings, while the Cesvaian Church bears witness to the religious history of the 16th century.
The surrounding area is surrounded by forests and lakes, making it suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing. The Česvajne Cultural Festival, held every summer, attracts visitors to experience traditional music and handicrafts. The town is also the gateway to the Gauja Valley Natural Park.
The economy is based on agriculture, wood processing and tourism. The pace of life is gentle, and local museums and community events showcase the unique charm of the Latvian countryside, making it an ideal destination for exploring the traditional culture of the Baltic States.
