Priedaine Observation Tower will be Temporarily Closed

Joint Stock Company "Latvia's State Forests" (LVM) hereby informs that in a regular technical inspection, damage has been detected in the structure of Priedaine Observation Tower and therefore due to safety reasons it has been temporarily closed.

"Upon surveying three LVM observation towers, the experts found that on the seventh staircase platform of Priedaine Observation Tower, there was significant decay-caused damage to the bearing structure of the tower. To eliminate all the damages, the observation tower will be repaired; visitors should note that the facility will be closed during the period of repair works," says Edmunds Linde, LVM Silviculture Planning Manager.

The 32 m-high tower reveals a picturesque view of the forests of the Curves of the Daugava, Krāslava and a number of church tower tops. At the foot of the tower, there is a resting place, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the specially protected area called Augšdaugava.
