[info ENG] 1301 was the starting point of Jaunpils castle
building mentioned in historical sources; the master of Livonian
order at that time was Gotfried fon Roga (1298-1306). The castle
was a helping hand to the comturey of Dobele. The castle had stone
walls which were rendered and in some places are up to 2.1m thick.
Jaunpils castle served as fortress and residence for a small
military unit, order’s monks, and aged knights belonging to
the Livonian order. The castle was surrounded by water moats and
the only castle entrance was a lifting bridge and vaulted
gate.
At 17th Century a medieval castle-fortress has been transformed
into the residence of wealthy nobility (in the hands of the family
of Reke). The shape Jaunpils castle had in the 17th century
remained unchanged till the revolution in 1905, when the castle was
burnt down by revolutionists and in one night’s time the
castle which had proudly stood more than five centuries was
completely destroyed.
During the period of freedom (from 1919) in Latvia the castle
building was used by livestock breeding school.
In order to run management of the castle the local authority
(p/a)“Jaunpils” was established in 2003. Within the
structure of this local government, there are such units as museum,
culture centre, library and SIA “Jaunpils pils”, which
deals with hotels, organizes excursions, banquets, and other
activities.
