Nabe Fortress

Nabe Fortress is a medieval castle in Limbaži Parish, Latvia, whose stone remains sit on elevated ground overlooking the surrounding landscape. The ruins still show the layout of defensive walls and fortifications that once protected those inside.

The fortress was built during a time when competing powers fought for control of the Baltic region, serving as a key defensive point in a network of fortifications. It was eventually abandoned and gradually fell into the ruins visible today.

This place was once a center of local authority and control over the surrounding region. The elevated position made it a symbol of power for those who lived and ruled here.

The site is accessible via marked walking paths, with information panels at key points helping you understand the layout and different areas. Visitors should expect uneven ground and wear appropriate footwear.

Archaeological digs have uncovered objects from everyday life of the fortress inhabitants, showing how people actually lived here centuries ago. These finds offer a rare glimpse into the personal world of medieval people in the Baltic region.
