Visit to Rundāle Palace and Bauska Castle Print


Two magnificent structures in Zemgale are the pride of Latvia. If you choose to go on this tour, you will have an opportunity to see one of the greatest monuments of 18th-century architecture in Latvia – Rundāle Palace. This “pearl of the Baroque” is located in a pristine rural landscape of the Zemgale plains.

The second part of the tour will take place in Bauska Castle, which was built at the end of the 16th century and which also served as the residence for the dukes of Zemgale (Semigallia) and Kurzeme (Courland). A special educational programme will help you to get acquainted with the court culture in the Duchy of Courland; during the programme, you will have a chance to taste several beer brands.
