Temple Hill in Alūksne, Archaeological monument at Temple Hill in Alūksne, Latvia.
The granite monument stands 35 meters high on a peninsula in Lake Alūksne, offering views across the water and surrounding landscapes.
The von Vietinghoff family constructed this monument in 1807 to mark significant events of the Great Northern War and honor military commanders.
The monument represents the intersection of Swedish and Russian military heritage through inscriptions and architectural elements that recognize both sides of the conflict.
Visitors can reach Temple Hill through marked hiking paths that connect to other local attractions, including the Livonian Order castle ruins.
The granite structure combines commemorative functions with geographical prominence, sitting on a natural elevation beside Latvia's eleventh largest lake.
