Kuldigas novads

Kuldīgas novads stretches from the Abava River valley to the Venta River around Skrunda, encompassing the wooded, gently rolling countryside of western Kurzeme. Its administrative centre, Kuldīga, stands on the Venta and is renowned for Ventas rumba, a broad natural waterfall that has long shaped the town’s identity. The compact old town, marked by timber houses and red-tiled roofs, joined the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023. Kuldīga also preserves a 19th-century brick bridge across the Venta, while the Alekšupīte runs through its historic centre. Beyond town, small settlements, farmland and forest reflect the rural character of Latvia’s Courland region.
