Description of the trail:
Kazdanga Castle Trail is 2 km long and stretches through the Kazdanga Castle Park along the spectacular manor castle built in 1800 that once belonged to the barons of Courland – the Mannteifels. Around the castle, there is a number of household buildings and living areas, together making an impressive and architecturally valuable ensemble. Now the castle and the adjacent land belongs to the state. The Kazdanga Castle Museum and the Tourism Information Point are both located there. The Park is a home for around 60 singingbird species and there are lots of old and foreign trees, incl. heritage trees.
