AINAŽI SALACGRĪVA LIMBAŽI ALOJA un STAICELE

Pils Street

At the beginning of the last century, there was a blacksmith's forge and a small wooden house where the blacksmith Leonards Šķilters lived with his family. He came from the Salaca region and was renowned for his artistically crafted ironworks, which can still be seen on the facades of buildings constructed in earlier times.

A forge owned by blacksmith I. Šķilters was located here at the beginning of the 20th century. His artistic forgings are still present on the facades of previously constructed houses.
