Ventspils Municipality Highlights

Ventspils Municipality encompasses a diverse stretch of Latvia’s western coast and the scenic Courland landscape. The region is defined by the dramatic 20-meter high bluffs at Jūrkalne and the Miķeļbāka lighthouse, the tallest in the Baltics. Visitors can explore the 13th-century ruins of Piltene and Angerminde castles, witness the Cold War legacy at abandoned Soviet missile bases, and visit the Seaside Open-Air Museum. Lake Usma offers inland recreation, while the Venta River flows through a mix of historic settlements and nature.
