Address:

The Old Kuldīga hillfort was seen as the heart of Kurzeme, because it was at the very centre of Curonian lands and on the banks of the Venta River. The hillfort makes it possible to imagine the power of the old castle and to enjoy the surrounding environment and various events that are organised there. Hillfort researcher Ernests Brastiņš wrote in 1923 that the ancient hill in Kuldīga was the largest fortification of the Curonian lands. It covered an entire hectare of land, and the surrounding settlement covered 10 ha.
