Ērgļi Castle ruins, Medieval castle ruins in Ērgļi Parish, Latvia.

The stone walls and foundations of Ērgļi Castle stand on elevated ground, revealing the structural elements of a former defensive stronghold from medieval times.

The castle, first documented in 1334, belonged to the Order of the Brothers of the Sword before passing to the Archdiocese of Riga during the medieval period.

Archaeological excavations at Ērgļi Castle have uncovered numerous artifacts that document the daily activities and social structures of medieval Latvian society.

Access to the castle ruins requires advance planning as the site lacks modern facilities, and visitors should bring necessary supplies for their exploration.

The castle ruins maintain their original medieval stonework patterns, providing researchers with information about construction methods from the thirteenth century.
