Belarus-Latvia-Russia tripoint, Border monument in Zilupe Municipality, Latvia

Description

The Belarus-Latvia-Russia tripoint is a border monument in Zilupe Municipality marking the exact location where the boundaries of these three nations converge. The site features a central platform surrounded by three distinct border markers, each representing one country's territorial boundary at this convergence point.

History

The monument was officially inaugurated in 1959, marking the formal recognition of the territorial boundaries between the three nations from that date forward. This site represented an important step in establishing the border demarcation following the geopolitical changes of the post-war period.

Culture

The site takes its name from its geographic function as a meeting point of three nations, symbolizing where borders converge on the landscape. Visitors can observe how each country has chosen to mark its territory through the physical design of its border marker at this singular location.

Practical

Visiting this location requires advance authorization from border authorities due to its sensitive position at an international boundary. Approach the site only through officially designated routes and check local regulations before planning your visit.

Did you know?

Each of the three border markers features a different base design reflecting each nation's approach to boundary marking. Belarus uses a square plinth while Latvia and Russia both employ circular foundations, creating a visual distinction at this convergence point.
