  1. Turaida Church

    On the path to the Turaida Castle in the Turaida Museum Reserve is the small wooden-spired Turaida Church, built in 1750 and housing a small history exhibition. In the churchyard two linden trees shade the grave of the legendary Turaida Rose. The headstone bears the inscription 'Turaidas Roze 1601-1620'. Viktors - a gardener local beauty Maija loved - is said to have buried Maija and planted one of the trees, then disappeared without trace.
