Cēsis Castle Park
Cēsu pils parks
A 19th-century landscape garden at the foot of the castle, with a swan pond and walking paths. It can be combined with a visit to the castle and old town.
The castle park lies north of the medieval castle and the New Castle. In the 19th century the estate owner remodelled it as an English-style landscape garden with ponds, small islands and pavilions. The moat and ramps around the castle ruins are also part of the park. It adjoins the nearby Maija Parks and is a favourite place for locals to stroll. It is also a good spot to photograph the castle towers from below. In summer, concerts and medieval festivals are held in the park and in the castle courtyard. Admission is free.
