Aizpute Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Aizpute, Latvia.

The castle structure features a square layout with two developed sides containing rows of buildings that encircle a large central courtyard.

The Livonian Order initiated the construction of Aizpute Castle in 1249 under Order Master Dietrich von Grüningen on the site of a former Curonian settlement.

The entrance gate displays decorative plasterwork in sgraffito technique dating from the period of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia.

The castle ruins remain accessible throughout the day and night, located at Liepājas iela 9 in the town of Aizpute.

The castle served as a school facility from the late 19th century until the mid-1970s before its abandonment and subsequent preservation efforts.
