Tips
For 200 years, the name of Līgatne has been closely linked to the paper mill. The mill was founded in 1815 and reached its peak at the end of the 19th century. The village developed along with the mill.The mill's management made significant efforts to create favorable living conditions for its employees. At the beginning of the 20th century, the quality of life of Līgatne's residents was among the highest in Europe. At that time, Līgatne not only produced high-quality paper but also generated electricity to power its own needs.
