Cēsis New Castle, Manor and national architectural monument in Cēsis, Latvia.
The castle complex features medieval fortress ruins alongside a renovated manor house situated in the central area of the town.
The castle, established in 1201, evolved from a wooden hillfort into a stone fortress under the control of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword.
The castle manor now functions as a center for exhibitions, displaying artifacts and documents that illustrate the development of Latvian society through centuries.
Visitors can access both guided and self-guided tours of the castle grounds, which include the Western Tower offering views of the surrounding landscape.
During the Livonian War of 1577, three hundred inhabitants chose explosive death within the castle rather than surrender to opposing forces.
