Historical centre and cellar caves of Ligatne show infohide info
€ 6.00
Description
Ligatne is one of the most beautiful nature corners in the Gauja National Park.
On the one hand, Ligatne is connected to the only paper producer in Latvia, on the other hand, to the old valley of Gauja River and Gauja National Park, but in the center of it there is Ligatne historical complex of paper industry with a unique “Historical center of Ligatne Paper Mill village”.
The historical development of the village of Ligatne Paper Mill is at least 200 years long. Ligatne is situated on 6 hills: Rigaskalns, Springukalns, Skolaskalns, Plucukalns, Kiberkalns and Remdenkalns, in the middle of which there is a valley named Zakusala.
For already 190 years the name of Ligatne has been related to the paper mill. Its historical center together with historical buildings of the mill is included in the list of cultural monuments of national importance.
There is a significant number of sandstone exposures, which we call cliffs and rocks, in Ligatne and its suburb. It is possible that it has the highest concentration of sandstone rocks in Latvia, which have been practically and successfully used by inhabitants of Ligatne and its suburb for many years for household and industrial needs creating cave systems and cellars.
Some rocks – Lustuzis, Anfabrika cliffs and Springu rocks are protected natural sites of national importance. Very interesting discoveries are related to caves and cellars located in cliffs. First of all, we should note that it is not a scourge of Soviet times, the tradition of use of natural advantages of Ligatne has much older history.
