SALACGRIVA

In 1479, the Riga Archbishop's castle was located at the mouth of the Salaca River, which frequently suffered from attacks and completely collapsed in the 17th century. In the second half of the 19th century, due to the development of coastal shipping, the town of Salacgrīva grew rapidly. In 1928, Salacgrīva gained city rights and during the Soviet era, it experienced economic prosperity thanks to fisheries and fish processing. In the second half of the 20th century, Salacgrīva became the main trading port in Northern Vidzeme, serving 150-200 ships per year. Since the end of the 20th century, it has primarily been engaged in cargo transport, exporting timber, peat, and chips.

Today, Salacgrīva is a dynamic seaside town that attracts visitors with its diverse coastline, natural values, and cultural heritage.
