Castle Ruins, situated on the hill by the river are the reminders of the ancient fortified residence of ancient Latgalians which existed there from the 9th to 13th centuries. At the end of the 13th century Livonian castle was built (Rozitten castle). The castle was situated in a strategically important place, so the Russians, Lithuanians, Poles were seeking to conquer the castle, but it was completely destroyed during the Polish–Swedish war (1656–1660).

I recommend it! It is something to see. And one can enjoy the contrast between the contemporary building Zeimuls opposite the ancient ruins of Rezekne castle. When I visited it with my girlfriend, it was a nice sunny weather and there was even a Big cleanup, organized by the locals. But it is sth to see. Just when you are going to Latvia- a pice of advice from me- combine your trip- Rīga, Jūrmala, Daugavpils, Rēzekne and Aglonq bazilika
4. Evangelical Lutheran Holy Trinity Church
5. Orthodox Church of the Birth of Holy Jesus’ Mother
