SEEĶurmrags, the Ķurmrags Lighthouse

The most prominent cape on the coast of the Gulf of Riga on the Vidzeme side. Nowadays the lighthouse has slid down to sea level where its slanting silhouette rises from the sea.

Ķurmrags is one of the most distinct capes along the Vidzeme shore of the Bay of Rīga.  Around it, waves and ice have put together a large amount of fieldstones, and the steep shores are made of sandstone.  There are the ruins of an old lighthouse here, with the building collapsing toward the sea.  It was still standing around 15 years ago.
