Jaunmoku Castle

Jaunmoku Castle was built in 1901 as a summer residence for the mayor of Riga, George Armistead. It combines two types of architecture: Neo-Gothics and Art Nouveau.

During the wars of the 20th century, the castle was exploited as a military school, radio station and hospital. In the 70s, the castle was abandoned and took about 10 years to renovate.

Nowadays, one can find here a centennial tiled stove with images of Riga and Jurmala from the beginning of the 20th century, a forest museum and a historical exposition in the observation tower as well as a hotel and a restaurant.

Entrance to the castle: €5,00
It will take you about 30 min to get there from Jurmala and about an hour from Riga.
