    Krimulda Castle & Manor

    Built between 1255 and 1273, Krimulda Castle was once used as a guesthouse for visiting dignitaries. A good way to reach the castle ruins is by cable car, which crosses the valley every half hour and affords splendid views. The big white building just west of the northern cable car station is Krimulda Manor built in 1897. Today it is a sanatorium.
