Ludzas novads

The terrain of Ludzas novads shifts from lake-dotted lowlands around Ludza in the west to wooded border country near Russia in the east, giving this eastern Latvian municipality a spacious, unhurried character. The area belongs to Latgale, a region whose distinct identity is reflected in its strong Catholic tradition and the continued use of the Latgalian language. Great Ludza Lake is one of the defining bodies of water, while Ludza is widely regarded as Latvia’s oldest town. Medieval castle ruins on the hill between Great and Small Ludza lakes recall its long role as a frontier settlement.
