Livonian order built this castle near the walls of medieval Riga in first half of 14th century. Although it was intended to be a main seat of this influential order, they did not manage to keep it so and moved over to Cesis medieval palace. Over the last centuries though this building is the seat of governors - now this is residence of President of Latvia. Learn a lot more in www.ambermarks.com.
