Mazirbe & Livonian People's House
Mazirbe
A fishing village on the Livonian Coast, home to the Livonian People's House, which showcases the history and language of this endangered people.
Mazirbe is the most important village on the Livonian Coast (Līvõd Rānda). The Livonian People's House, completed in 1939, remains the cultural hub of the Livonians, a Finno-Ugric community. Its displays include traditional costumes, fishing gear and the blue, green and white Livonian flag. Every year on the first weekend of August, the Livonian Festival is held here, with folk songs, handicrafts and a smoked fish market. The village also has a wooden church, a beach and the site of a 19th-century navigation school. The People's House is open in summer, and visits at other times require a reservation.
