Bauska Castle | Pilskalna parks

In the mid-15th century, Bauska castle was built by the Germans of the Livonian Order. A small town called Schildburg grew on the narrow peninsula formed by the Mūsa and Mēmele rivers. Around 1580 by the order of Duke Gotthard Kettler this settlement was relocated to the present location of Bauska Old Town, eventually receiving city rights sometime before 1609.
