In 1399 German crusaders built a powerful fortress on the hill between the Small and Big Lakes of Ludza. The three-story stone building with 6 towers, 3 gates, and 2 castle fronts.

The castle was built from grey stones and red bricks, decorated with black glazed bricks. The castle hill is one of the favorite walking places in the town, there is a splendid view over the town from the hill. Of course, there are several beautiful legends about the castle, its prince, and the bewitched princess.
