Sigulda Municipality Essentials

Sigulda Municipality preserves a dense collection of historical and recreational sites within the Gauja National Park. The region is defined by its medieval heritage, featuring the 13th-century Turaida and Sigulda castles alongside the 19th-century Neo-Gothic New Castle. Beyond history, the area serves as a center for adventure sports, housing a professional bobsleigh track, a vertical wind tunnel, and an obstacle park. Natural landmarks like the Dauda Waterfall and scenic vantage points over the Gauja River valley complement the cultural sculpture parks and historic wooden architecture.
