Tukums - the city of roses and inspiration

Tukums, translated from the Liv language, means “the end of the earth”. A strange and amazing name for a city located in the middle of Latvia. Apparently, the Livs meant something else. This is where Zemgale ends and Kurzeme begins, so it's the edge of everything.

Tukums today is a cozy, cute town surrounded by gardens. We will begin our acquaintance with him in the historical center of the city.

Cozy, cobblestone streets, red tiled roofs, skyward spires of churches, numerous flower beds and sheds for firewood - Tukums charms with its tranquility and provincial beauty.

Historically, there were lands of pagan tribes of Livs and Curses. Since the middle of the 13th century, the city and surrounding territories belonged to the Livonian Order, and later to the rich Duchy of Courland. In 1795, from the Russian Empress Catherine II, Tukums received the status of a city.

Tukums is a city in which the modern noisy rhythm of life is perfectly intertwined with ancient traditions. It has always been a picturesque town, artists and creative people came here for inspiration and beauty. No wonder the slogan has long been known. To Tukums for beauty.

Near the city there are three castles in completely different architectural styles. To appreciate their beauty, it is worth visiting them all. Durbe Palace in the style of classicism, the Schlockenbeck estate in the style of a fortified manor, as well as a mesmerizing castle in the neo-Gothic style of Yaunmoku.

Forget about the hustle and bustle of big cities, it's time to go to Tukums!
