Krustpils Castle, Medieval castle in Jēkabpils, Latvia
The stone fortress stands on the banks of the Daugava River, featuring distinct Baroque architectural elements added during the 18th century modifications.
The Archbishop of Riga constructed the initial castle in 1237, naming it Kreutz, and the fortress remained under the von Korff family control from 1585 to 1920.
The Jēkabpils History Museum within the castle displays 40,000 artifacts representing local heritage, including items from Turkish prisoners who settled in the region.
The castle offers guided tours in multiple languages, with access to the gateway tower providing views across Jēkabpils and the surrounding landscape.
The basement level contains the oldest remaining sections of the original stone castle, preserving medieval architectural elements from its earliest construction phase.
