Cesis is located in the central part of the Vidzeme region and is one of the most beautiful cities in Latvia.
The medieval ruins of the castle are the symbol of Cesis, which together with the park create a romantic atmosphere of the city.
The new Cesis Castle, which was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded, acquired its architectural appearance at the beginning of the 16th century.
The Cesis History and Art Museum, located in the Cesis New Castle, is one of the oldest provincial museums in Latvia. Since the foundation of the museum, its inventory has been designed in such a way as to fully reflect the colorful cultural and historical heritage of the city of Cesis and its region as part of Latvian cultural history.
The cobbled streets of the historical center of Cesis have remained the same as in the Middle Ages, preserving the medieval buildings with red tiled roofs, closed courtyards and restored facades.
Tour groups have the opportunity to book a number of theatrical tour programs and enjoy medieval food and local beer from the Cesis Brewery, which is one of the oldest breweries in the Baltics. The tourist information center will answer your questions.
Not far from Cesis Castle is the Church of St. John, which was built at the end of the 13th century and at the time it was the largest church in the Vidzeme region. Even today, after several renovations, the church retains its powerful and impressive appearance. You should visit the church to see the tombstones of the masters of the Livonian Order and listen to the sounds of the organ that fill not only the church, but also its surroundings.
