Saulkrasti

Saulkrasti has served as a rural settlement in Latvia’s Latgale region since the modern era. It lies in the Daugava valley near Krāslava, in the country’s southeastern borderlands close to Belarus; this is a very different Saulkrasti from the Baltic-coast town north of Riga. The Daugava is the defining geographical feature, following its long westward course across Latvia after flowing through Belarus and Russia. Krāslava provides the area’s principal architectural reference points, including the 18th-century Roman Catholic Church of St Louis and the former Plater family palace. The nearby Daugava Bends Nature Park reflects the wooded, rolling terrain associated with this stretch of Latgale.
