Limbaži City Museum
In the new palace of the Rīgas Rāte, built in the beginning of the 19th century, or the "Pilsmuižas pārvaldnieka" building, there is a historical exposition and exhibition halls.
The construction of the castle was started in the first half of the 13th century. From the 15th to the 16th century it had been the residence of Riga’s archbishop. The castle was destroyed during the wars in the 17th and the 18th centuries. Renovation works of the castle ruins were started in 1999.
