Ēdole Castle
Ēdoles pils
A medieval castle about 20 km northwest of Kuldīga, remodelled in neo-Gothic style in the 19th century and set in a lakeside park.
Ēdole Castle was first built by the Livonian Order in the 13th century and later became a noble manor. After remodelling in the 19th century, it gained its present towers and battlements. Parts of the interior halls are open to visitors, and the castle also offers accommodation and event spaces. The manor park and Mill Lake nearby are good for a stroll. There is no public transport, so you'll need a car. It can be combined with Jūrkalne Bluffs into a scenic seaside driving route.
Opening hours
Summer, about 10:00–18:00; reservation required in other seasons
