Alsunga Castle, Medieval fortress in Alsunga, Latvia.
The stone structure displays a quadrangular layout with round towers and stands at coordinates 56.9818819 latitude and 21.5675327 longitude.
The Livonian Order initiated the construction of the central part of the southern wing in 1372 near a former Curonian castle mound.
The castle influenced local religious practices when Johan Ulrich von Schwerin invited Jesuits in 1632, leading to the formation of the Suiti community.
The castle houses the Alsunga Administrative District Council, a museum, and a tourist information center for visitors seeking local guidance.
After nationalization in 1920, the medieval fortress served different purposes, including functioning as a dairy facility in 1925 and a school in 1939.
