Kubeseles pilskalns

Kubeseles pilskalns is an elevated hillfort located at a strategic point in Krimulda Parish in Latvia. The rise of the ground itself forms a natural vantage point that would have allowed people to see across the surrounding landscape.

The site was inhabited during different periods of the Iron Age, with archaeological finds showing occupation from early to late phases. This long period of use shows how important this location remained for the people living in the region.

The site connects visitors to how people in this region organized their settlements and defended their communities long ago. Walking here, you can sense the choices ancient inhabitants made about where to build and how to use the landscape.

The site can be reached through a marked path located near Krimulda Lutheran Church. Local tourism offices can provide guidance on access and how to explore the location.

Near the hillfort stands a 1775 vicarage built by Baron Magnus von Helmersens, which now serves as a study center for the local congregation. This building creates an interesting connection between the ancient site and later structures in the area.
