THE MUSEUM OFFERS THEMED TOURS
Tour of the permanent exhibition “Ogre Stop”
The origins of the once-popular Ogre resort date back to 1861, when the Riga–Dinaburg railway line was opened. In the 1930s, following the devastation of the First World War, the resort experienced a period of rapid development. Buildings designed by renowned architects — including Vladimirs Šervinskis, Dāvids Zariņš, and Teodors Hermanovskis — were constructed, and a vibrant cultural life emerged. The town and its surroundings attracted visitors with picturesque landscapes and a health-promoting environment.
