During Soviet times this spot was occupied by a statue of Lenin. That now lies in the grounds of the nearby castle.
German crusaders known as the Livonian Brothers of the Sword began construction of the castle (Wenden) near the hill fort in 1209. When the castle was enlarged and fortified, it served as the residence for the Order's Master from 1237 till 1561, with periodic interruptions. In 1577, during the Livonian War, the garrison destroyed the castle to prevent it from falling into the control of Ivan the Terrible, who was decisively defeated in the Battle of Wenden (1578). In 1598 it was incorporated into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Wenden Voivodship was created here. In 1620 Wenden was conquered by Sweden. It was rebuilt afterwards, but was destroyed again in 1703 during the Great Northern War by the Russian army and left in a ruined state. Already from the end of the 16th century, the premises of the Order's castle were adjusted to the requirements of the Cēsis Castle estate. When in 1777 the Cēsis Castle estate was obtained by Count Carl Sievers, he had his new residence house built on the site of the eastern block of the castle, joining its end wall with the fortification tower.
Since 1949, the Cēsis History Museum has been located in this New Castle of the Cēsis Castle estate. The front yard of the New Castle is enclosed by a granary and a stable-coach house, which now houses the Exhibition Hall of the Museum. Beside the granary there is the oldest brewery in Latvia, Cēsu alus darītava, which was built in 1878 during the later Count Sievers' time, but its origins date back to the period of the Livonian Order. Further on, the Cēsis Castle park is situated, which was laid out in 1812. The park has the romantic characteristic of that time, with its winding foot-paths, exotic plants, and the waters of the pond reflecting the castle's ruins. Nowadays also one of the towers is open for tourists.
Palazzo Cesi, Acquasparta
I Borghi più belli d'Italia - The most beautiful villages in Italy
Perla del Rinascimento, Palazzo Cesi di Acquasparta, è uno di quei rari esempi in cui in un borgo della provincia, è possibile trovare e scoprire le basi della storia della nostra cultura. All’interno del paese, infatti, affacciato sulla piazza principale, sorge in tutta la sua severa bellezza, Palazzo Cesi, di proprietà della famiglia Cesi, il cui maggior esponente fu Federico Cesi detto Il Linceo, nonché fondatore della prima e più duratura accademia scientifica al mondo: l’Accademia dei Lincei.
A pearl of the Renaissance, Palazzo Cesi in Acquasparta is one of those rare examples where, in a village in the province, it is possible to find and discover the foundations of the history of our culture. Inside the town, in fact, overlooking the main square, stands in all its severe beauty, Palazzo Cesi, owned by the Cesi family, whose greatest exponent was Federico Cesi, known as Il Linceo, and founder of the first and most enduring scientific academy in the world: the Accademia dei Lincei.
Cēsis (German: Wenden) is known since the 11th century, when the Livonian Brothers of the Sword built a castle here, that later served as the residence for the Order's Master.
In 1577, during the Livonian War, the garrison destroyed the castle to prevent it from falling into the control of Ivan the Terrible, who was defeated in the Battle of Wenden in 1578. In 1620 Wenden was conquered by Sweden. It was rebuilt but destroyed again in 1703 during the Great Northern War by the Russian army.
The castle is located in the centre of the city. In the middle Ages it was one of the most important footholds for the Teutonic Order in the Baltics, but nowadays it is an impressive and well-preserved castle ruin, hosting a museum.

Petite promenade en 5 photos dans une partie seulement du parc du vieux château de Cesis en Lettonie… (désolée on ne voit pas sur ces photos le vieux château, mais - trop monumental - il ne se laissait pas facilement mettre dans la boîte, et puis l’œil a été attiré par cette petite église perchée et cachée derrière les arbres…)
Cēsis est une ville de la région de Vidzeme, en Lettonie. Sa population s'élevait à 16 093 habitants en 2013.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C4%93sis
La ville est arrosée par la rivière Gauja et se trouve au cœur du parc national du même nom, à 81 km au nord-est de Riga. Elle a fêté ses 800 ans en 2006 lors d'un grand festival de musique, de danse et de théâtre. En juin 1919, lors des guerres d'indépendances des Pays baltes, les forces estoniennes et lettonnes ont défait les Allemands dans cette ville.
On y trouve la plus ancienne brasserie d'Europe du Nord, qui date de 1590.
Un des principaux employeurs est 1188.lv, leader du renseignement téléphonique dans le pays.
