Talsu viduslaiku pils, Medieval castle ruins in Talsi, Latvia
The stone fortification remains stand on elevated ground, featuring defensive walls and foundations that outline the original castle structure's perimeter.
The castle emerged during the Northern Crusades in the late 13th century when German forces established control over the region of Courland.
The archaeological site reveals medieval construction techniques and defensive strategies through its preserved architectural elements and found artifacts.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked paths from Talsi town center, with informational panels explaining the site's features.
The castle's position among Talsi's nine hills provided strategic advantages, allowing surveillance of approaching forces from all directions.
