I will donate to research this place. It is maybe most mysterious ruins in Latvia. Some people believe that majestic ruins of almost megalithic wall (in case of lack of stones at all) is oldest in Latvia. Placed in very remote point, hard to access (You must climb ~100 meters long timber stairs) in general ignored by researchers, this palace is hidden gem of Latvia. Top of hill (yard of castle) allow to observe great distance around with gorgeous views. It once was very popular place for couples, because people believe that presence in ruins in some way strengthen relationships.

Between medieval ruins and "GORS" we've found a building of interesting modern architecture that serves as a foreground for the soviet period buildings. Grass is covering the roof! We only walked around to see the building outside, however it turned out inside there is a creative centre, tourism info centre, cafe. And throughout the year there are activities for young people from 4 to 25 years of age (mainly), sometimes also for parents: various competitions, family workshops, photo exhibitions, charity events, sporting events, concerts, markets. Full name of this place is "Zeimuls, Centre of Creative Services of Eastern Latvia".
