The story

Story · Bauska Castle

You're standing at Bauska Castle, on a narrow tongue of land on the edge of town. Have a look around. There's water on both sides: this is where the Mūša and the Mēmele meet and become the Lielupe river. You could hardly pick a better spot for a stronghold. The Semigallians thought so too. Long before any stone walls went up, their hill fort stood right here.
