Strenči Halal Travel Guide

Klinikgebäude-Strenci - Strenči Mental Hospital

City-wise equipped with all necessary attributes, including the Strenči Tourism Board Centre, but from an infrastructure point of view this place is as unpromising as Valka. Strenči was first mentioned at the end of the 17th century. The city began to expand at the end of the 19th century, due the construction of the railway. The most significant event its history was the creation of a large mental hospital, which remains the main city attraction and is perhaps the only reason why residents of other cities come here. Nevertheless, it is still pleasant to take a walk along the shore of Gauja, where the park is cut in half.

What to See

Strenči mental hospital - Water tower in Strenchi

• Strenči Mental Hospital - Strenču psihoneiroloģiskā slimnīca | Valkas iela 57.627988, 25.698847 ☎ +371 27877410 (museum) - Built at the beginning of 20th century and has a beautiful park around it. The hospital buildings are a monument of architecture as well. It was common in the Russian Empire to build psychiatric hospitals on a grand scale. It is hard to say why such a hospital was built here, but a dozen brick buildings, decorated in white and red colours form bizarre assembly. The highlight of which is the water tower, built in 1907, combined with a chimney – completely unaccustomed, although it would seem that a pre-revolutionary boiler house is more than natural. Also pay attention to the fire station folded around the boulders of the same period.
  The hospital has a museum, on prior arrangement. The rest of the area of the hospital serves as a city park and is accessible to everyone – there are no fences or any other signs of a strict regime here.
• Lutheran Church - Baznīcas iela 2 57.63019, 25.68938 - If you believe local information, this church was a wooden construction from 1907, and then in 1936 rebuilt in stone. From the outside it looks rather ordinary, but a closer look reveals that the shape of the building is completely uncanonical. It is a rectangular, and even extended by two chimneys above. The altar and the stained-glass windows belong to the same second half of the 1930s, pre-war period.
• Bridge across the Gauja - 57.61866, 25.70111 south of the city A narrow and reinforced concrete bridge on the road to Smiltene. It was built in 1909 and is recognized an architectural monument. The roadway is paved with cobblestone, but other parts of the bridge are still wooden.
