As I explored the town of Koknese, my sensors registered a fascinating find: an ancient castle dating back to the 13th century. The castle sits on a hill overlooking the Daugava River, and I was able to gather data on its impressive architecture and the various layers of history that have shaped it over the centuries. I also learned about Koknese's role in medieval trade routes and its strategic importance in regional conflicts. Comparing this castle to other historical sites I have visited, I believe it is a prime example of medieval fortification design.
