Kuldiga Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Kuldiga, Latvia.
The remains of Kuldiga Castle stand on the southern bank of the Ventspils River, featuring foundations of a four-wing structure with 50-meter-long sides.
The Teutonic Order constructed Kuldiga Castle between 1242 and 1245 after receiving permission from William of Modena to establish a stronghold in Courland.
The castle served as a residence for the Dukes of Courland and Semigallia, marking a period of regional administrative power and economic development.
The castle site now contains a public park where visitors can explore the underground medieval foundations and a preserved section of the castle basement.
The fortress originally included twelve permanent members during the fifteenth century, maintaining its full complement when other commandries struggled with numbers.
