Gulbenes Sarkanā pils, Neo-Gothic castle in Gulbene, Latvia.

The Red Castle features a square tower adorned with battlements, niches containing sculptures, and decorative elements characteristic of Neo-Gothic architecture.

Baron Heinrich von Wolf commissioned the construction of this red brick castle at the end of the 19th century as part of the Vecgulbene estate.

The building transformed from a noble residence into an educational institution in the 1920s, serving as a school for local children.

The castle underwent renovation in 2004 and currently houses administrative offices while maintaining its status as an architectural monument.

Seven artificial islands in the adjacent Holy Lake were created to spell out 'Marisa,' the name of a baron's wife.
