About the museum
Lielstraupes pils is located in Straupe, which is known as the world's smallest Hanseatic town. It is one of the few medieval castles in Latvia that has survived to the present day and is now open to visitors. In the castle you can see hidden labyrinths and the eerie rooms of the old hospital wing.
The best way to get to know the castle is a guided tour, where stories are told with humour. For groups and children's birthday parties, the castle offers hide-and-seek and orienteering games.
