Vārkavas Manor was firstly mentioned in 1583, as a manor belonging to Rezekne. In the 16th century in the place of the present Vārkava administrative center. Cassel is renovated and tiny exebitionis open for visitors.

In my knowledge , this manor located on the sosial centre now. There is a fence around and doors are closed. Probably you can get into it with permition from director of the centre. The manor castle was built in 1890-1892 according to project of the well-known architect V. Neiman (he was the chief architect in Daugavpils in the period from 1878 to 1895). The castle belonged to August von Etingen. The castle itself is asymmetrical, with towers, turrets and roof constructions its leaves quite a picturesque impression. The castle architecture reflects mostly to medieval architecture. However, the main entrance with a small column based on a balcony has purely classic motives. It is possible to notice a similarity to the shapes of Renascence. There used to be a sculpture of Order Master Valter von Pletenberg. The initial building overview can be seen in a published picture in the book by E. Serafim. The castle interiors have not been preserved. https://www.visitdaugavpils.lv/en/turisma-objekts/kalkunes-muizas-pils/

Vecsaliena manor, or Chervonka's house, is located in Chervonka, Vecsaliena parish, Augšdaugava region. The manor belonged to the Han family until the agrarian reform of 1920 and has remained intact to this day. Currently, it houses the Vecsaliena parish administration. The Vecsaliena manor palace was built of red bricks in 1870 in the English neo-Gothic style. Bricks were brought from a local kiln, while lime was burnt from dolomite mined on the banks of the Daugava. The main element of the facade of the manor house are pointed arches. The risalites, mezzanines and the tower increase the plasticity of the building. On the first floor there is a hall with an ornate ceiling and an oven with decorative clay formations. You can climb the spiral staircase to the castle tower, which offers a view of Vecsaliena Park. In front of the building there is a wide circle of grass, the road from the palace to the pub is planted with rowan trees, on the side of it there is a preserved Karian house.

Dinaburg Castle stands on the right bank of the Daugava, approximately 18 km upriver from Daugavpils, 3 km southwest of the nearest railway station and 1 km from the Daugavpils - Kraslava road, on the ancient site of the Naujiene mound. Dinaburg Castle was built in 1277 by Ernst von Ratzeburg (Ernests Rasburg), a master of the Livonian Order, on the site of the Naujiene mound, as a border fortress facing Lithuania. Immediately after the construction of the castle in 1278, under the leadership of King Traiden, it was besieged by the Lithuanian army. In the 13th century, the residential area of Latgala included the southeastern part of the current Latgala region, which was the property of the order since 1264. The inhabited lands on the left bank of the Daugava extend to the town of Naujiene, which, although it was on the right bank of the Daugava, was mentioned in a document of 1259 as the extreme eastern point of the border of the Seleucid land. Near Naujiene was one of the 3 main crossing points of the Daugava (the other two - near Sėlpils and near Dole island), which Lithuanians used to get to Vidzeme. At this point - at the Lithuanian border - the Livonian Order built Dinaburg Castle. The maximum length of the castle building is approximately 59 m, the maximum width (in the western part) is approximately 26 m. The building materials they used were very large bricks (dimensions: 30 x 14 x 10 cm), boulders (mainly for foundations) and limestone slabs. The entrance to Dinaburg Castle was from the eastern side - through 2 fore-castles, surrounded by boulder walls and moats. source: @turizmogidas.lt
