Aizkraukle Castle, Medieval castle ruins near Daugava River, Latvia
The stone foundations and remaining wall fragments of Aizkraukle Castle stand on the right bank of the Daugava River in Aizkraukle Parish.
The Livonian Order constructed this fortification in 1213, which served as a Komtur seat from 1334 to 1480 before Polish forces captured it in 1559.
The castle structure incorporates Gothic architectural elements that demonstrate the medieval building techniques used by German military orders in Latvia.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked paths from Aizkraukle town, with the remaining walls reaching heights of 5 meters.
The castle site maintains its original defensive position above the Daugava River, where it controlled medieval trade routes through the region.
