Limbažu pils, Medieval castle in Limbaži, Latvia.
Limbažu pils rises near the center of Limbaži with stone walls, defensive towers, and a substantial inner courtyard measuring several hundred square meters.
The castle served as a residence for Livonian bishops after its construction in 1275 under Bishop Albert of Buxhoeveden during the regional Christianization period.
The fortification represents medieval architectural traditions combining religious authority with military defense, influencing the development of surrounding Limbaži town.
Visitors can access the castle ruins daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through the local tourism office in multiple languages.
The castle foundations contain wooden elements from its initial construction phase, preserved beneath later stone additions during the 14th-century reconstruction.
