Ēdole Castle, Medieval castle in Ēdole, Latvia

The Gothic Revival castle stands on the banks of Ēdole Lake, featuring two residential buildings connected by stone walls and a surrounding landscape park.

Built between 1264 and 1267 for the bishop of Piltene, the castle remained under Baltic-German Baron von Behr family ownership from 1561 until 1920.

The castle incorporates architectural elements from multiple periods, including one of the earliest examples of Neo-Gothic design in the Kurzeme region of Latvia.

Visitors can access the castle grounds and explore the historical structure by paying an entrance fee of 5 euros at the main entrance.

Following partial destruction during the 1905 Russian Revolution, reconstruction efforts added a household yard and tower while maintaining the Gothic architectural elements.
