Gulbenes viduslaiku pils, Medieval castle ruins in Gulbene, Latvia
The medieval castle stands on the banks of the Krustalice River, incorporating stone fortifications and defensive structures from the 14th century.
Built in 1340 during Archbishop Friedrich von Pernstein's reign, the castle served as a stronghold of the Archbishopric of Riga until 1577.
The castle ruins became the foundation for the Gulbene Evangelical Lutheran Church, constructed between 1838 and 1843 at Brivibas Street.
The castle site provides archaeological evidence of medieval architecture and military engineering techniques used in the Baltic region.
Russian forces besieged the castle for four weeks in February 1481 during the Livonian-Muscovite War, leading to substantial damage.
