ENG: In Middle Ages Ropazi
was situated in the territory of the German Order. With the time
being the relationship between the Order and Riga City and
Archbishop strained. Therefore the Order started building of a
castle in the territory of the Rodenpoys Livs in the 14 century. It
served as the administration center of the castle territory, as a
check point to guarantee safe traffic, as a subordinate castle for
the Riga Order Castle in case there were a war with Riga
City.
Castle was destroyed in the end of 16th century during Livonian war
and nowadays you can see only some remains of ancient stone
building, but the territory around it is landscaped and this is a
wonderful place to take a breath and enjoy little picnic.
