Salaspils Castle, Medieval castle ruin near Salaspils, Latvia.
The castle remains include a rectangular layout of 40 by 30 meters with limestone walls and an octagonal tower in the western section.
The Livonian Order constructed this fortification before 1380, which later became central to the Kirchholm Treaty regarding Riga's control in 1452.
The structure represents the German military orders' architectural approach in the Baltic region, combining defensive capabilities with administrative functions.
The ruins are partially submerged due to the Daugava River dam, making them visible mainly during periods of lower water levels.
The castle featured an innovative drawbridge system positioned halfway along the northwest wing, demonstrating advanced medieval engineering techniques.
