JŪRMALA<br />

ResoRt histoRy<br />

● During <strong>the</strong> 13th to 16th centuries most of <strong>the</strong><br />

current Jurmala city territory was included in<br />

former Liv<strong>on</strong>ian order state. Small fishermen<br />

villages started to emerge al<strong>on</strong>g seashore.<br />

● The oldest part of Jurmala is Sloka. Sloka <strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> bank of river Lielupe flourished in <strong>the</strong> 17th<br />

century during governance of Duke Jacob. Kilns<br />

of copper, glass and lime, also mills started to<br />

operate here.<br />

● Kauguri: it is <strong>the</strong> part of Jurmala where most<br />

of Jurmala’s inhabitants live. The old name of<br />

fishermen village, Kaugern, first appeared in<br />

documents in <strong>the</strong> 16th century and suggests<br />

an idea that <strong>the</strong> first inhabitants here were<br />

Livs.<br />

● In its turn first summer residents in <strong>the</strong> end of<br />

<strong>the</strong> 18th century that lived in Kauguri village<br />

houses, mostly were Courland’s landlords.<br />

This fact allows coming to a c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong> that<br />

Jurmala is <strong>on</strong>e <strong>the</strong> oldest seaside resorts in<br />

Europe.<br />

● Up to 19th century fishery was <strong>the</strong> main<br />

branch of occupati<strong>on</strong> for <strong>the</strong> inhabitants of<br />

Jurmala. Fresh smoked fish was delivered to<br />

cottagers and was sent also to Riga.<br />

● Bathing places of Jurmala gained popularity in<br />

<strong>the</strong> 19th century.<br />

www.tourism.jurmala.lv<br />

● The beginning of <strong>the</strong> 19th century is <strong>the</strong><br />

dawn of Jurmala resort history. After <strong>the</strong><br />

war between Russia and France in 1812, <strong>the</strong><br />

wounded Russian army officers came to take<br />

rest at local fishermen houses.<br />

● The first ba<strong>the</strong>s’ establishment “Marienbad”<br />

in Dubulti was opened in 1870. Doctor Johan<br />

Christian Nordstrom started to use climate<br />

<strong>the</strong>rapy as a course of treatment; he indicated<br />

jogging al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> beach, sea water treatments,<br />

as well as physical activities in fresh air.<br />

● The end of <strong>the</strong>19th century – beginning of<br />

<strong>the</strong> 20th century was <strong>the</strong> time when resort<br />

started flourishing; it was <strong>the</strong> time when most<br />

of health establishments, wooden architecture<br />

houses and resort infrastructure were built. In<br />

those days bathing houses with bathtubs of<br />

warmed sea water were built for <strong>the</strong> purpose<br />

of healing treatments and relaxati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

● In <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 19th century when<br />

no bathing suits were known, separate<br />

swimming hours for men and women were<br />

set. Since 1897 special hours for swimming<br />

in bathing suits were introduced – bathing<br />

suit c<strong>on</strong>sisted of trousers up to knee, and a<br />

sleeveless shirt with a belt. In 1914 swimming<br />

without bathing suits was banned.<br />

The united Jurmala city was established <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> November 11, 1959<br />

merging 3 territories - Rigas Jurmala, Sloka and Ķemeri.<br />

● In 1844 <strong>the</strong> first steamboat in Jurmala started<br />

to operate and brought approximately 150<br />

passengers at a time. Later five steamboats<br />

were bringing people from Riga and Jelgava.<br />

The biggest steamboat “Undīne” started to<br />

run al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> river in 1857, and was able to<br />

pick up approximately 500 pers<strong>on</strong>s. A street in<br />

Majori was named Undīnes in <strong>the</strong> h<strong>on</strong>our of<br />

<strong>the</strong> steamboat.<br />

● The opening of <strong>the</strong> railway line “Riga - Tukums”<br />

in 1877 was a notable event as it c<strong>on</strong>tributed<br />

to <strong>the</strong> development and growth of Ķemeri<br />

resort and Jurmala bathing places.<br />

● The first ir<strong>on</strong> bridge was built in 1876. During<br />

<strong>the</strong> World War I <strong>the</strong> bridge was det<strong>on</strong>ated<br />

when Russian army draw back. In 1922 a new<br />

railway bridge was opened, and again it was<br />

det<strong>on</strong>ated in <strong>the</strong> end of World War II, it was<br />

rebuilt in 1949.<br />

● “Jurmala’s gold” or famous strawberries<br />

came from Jurmala – <strong>the</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> city<br />

called Melluži. Fruitful strawberry gardens<br />

with high quality berries were located<br />

<strong>the</strong>re. Seeds of strawberries were brought<br />

from France, but ripe berries were<br />

delivered not <strong>on</strong>ly to Riga, but also to St.<br />

Petersburg.<br />

● Ķemeri regi<strong>on</strong> with its curative qualities<br />

of sulphur springs is well known since<br />

18th century. The first bathing house was<br />

built <strong>on</strong> state land in 1838. This land was<br />

allocated to <strong>the</strong> needs of sulphur springs<br />

vulnerary by <strong>the</strong> tsar Nikolay <strong>the</strong> 1st. This<br />

was <strong>the</strong> year of resort’s foundati<strong>on</strong>. Thus<br />

Ķemeri originally developed as a balneological<br />

resort, care of which was so<strong>on</strong> taken<br />

by <strong>the</strong> state.<br />

● Resort was wide known in <strong>the</strong> Russian<br />

Empire; in 1912 a direct railroad line Ķemeri –<br />

Moscow was opened. For a c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with<br />

Jaunķemeri beach, an electric tram started to<br />

operate.<br />

● In 1920 city rights with <strong>the</strong> name of Rigas<br />

Jurmala were granted to <strong>the</strong> current territory of<br />

Jurmala from Priedaine to Kauguri.<br />

● In summer of 1950 as much as 29 sanatoriums<br />

and 36 rest houses were open in Jurmala.<br />

In its turn, in 1980-ies Jurmala according to<br />

<strong>the</strong> amount of organized guests, ranked 3rd<br />

after famous resorts - Sochi and Yalta. It was<br />

<strong>the</strong> time when in Jurmala 105 sanatoriums,<br />

guest houses, recreati<strong>on</strong> and creative activities’<br />

houses were open, and <strong>the</strong>y welcomed more<br />

than 300 000 pers<strong>on</strong>s a year.

tReAsuRes<br />

Only <strong>the</strong> rich citizens could afford hiring educated<br />

architects to design <strong>the</strong>ir houses. Mainly <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

Baltic German and <strong>Latvian</strong> specialists, but <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

also works of Russian, Finnish and o<strong>the</strong>r nati<strong>on</strong>ality<br />

architects. Since <strong>the</strong> first half of <strong>the</strong> 19th century,<br />

popularity of classic architecture remained steady.<br />

There are also buildings of historism, art nouveau,<br />

nati<strong>on</strong>al romanticism, as well as functi<strong>on</strong>alism in<br />

Jurmala. Ano<strong>the</strong>r characteristic feature of Jurmala’s<br />

architecture is rich woodcarving decorati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

facades and roofs of <strong>the</strong> buildings. New accents<br />

obtained from <strong>the</strong> historical c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> are used<br />

to develop a new and modern style of architecture.<br />

www.tourism.jurmala.lv<br />

408 buildings are included in <strong>the</strong> list of architectural<br />

m<strong>on</strong>uments, 7 of which are sacral buildings: 3<br />

Lu<strong>the</strong>ran, 2 Catholic and 2 Orthodox churches.<br />

More than 4000 buildings corresp<strong>on</strong>d to historical<br />

building of city. <str<strong>on</strong>g>City</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s architecture can be observed<br />

if you chose <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> eight pedestrian routes that<br />

include 14 culture historical centres of city from<br />

Priedaine to Ķemeri. Every single route reflects <strong>the</strong><br />

most characteristic things in area, <strong>the</strong>refore allowing<br />

guests to feel <strong>the</strong> individuality and particular<br />

mood of <strong>the</strong> place. The walking routes al<strong>on</strong>g every<br />

One of <strong>the</strong> biggest treasures of <strong>the</strong> resort city is its unique wooden architecture.<br />

Being c<strong>on</strong>scious of aes<strong>the</strong>tic attractiveness and material’s suitability for building<br />

houses of seas<strong>on</strong>al character, as well as assessing <strong>the</strong> positive qualities and impact<br />

<strong>on</strong> human health and envir<strong>on</strong>ment, in <strong>the</strong> 19th century and in <strong>the</strong> first half<br />

of 20th century most of <strong>the</strong> houses in Jurmala were made of wood, <strong>the</strong>refore<br />

wooden architecture prevails over o<strong>the</strong>r kinds of building in Jurmala.<br />

Dzintari c<strong>on</strong>cert hall is <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> most significant cultural m<strong>on</strong>uments, and it offers a wide<br />

program of culture performed by local and internati<strong>on</strong>al artists.<br />

Variety show and small orchestra performances took place here already in 1897, when<br />

a stage was built in Edinburgh (Dzintari was called Edinburgh till 1922) in <strong>the</strong> h<strong>on</strong>our of<br />

wedding of <strong>the</strong> Alexander’s II daughter and Albert, <strong>the</strong> Duke of Edinburgh. Later famous<br />

In 1936 <strong>the</strong> building of a c<strong>on</strong>cert hall with<br />

690 seats was opened in <strong>the</strong> new Dzintari<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cert garden. The author of <strong>the</strong> project<br />

was V.Mellenberg. Built in 1960, <strong>the</strong> openair<br />

stage is a famous place for c<strong>on</strong>certing. In<br />

1960 a summer c<strong>on</strong>cert hall with 2000 seats<br />

was built.<br />

The design of metal c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

with <strong>the</strong> wooden cladding provides perfect<br />

acoustics. Specialists have evaluated this<br />

place as a unique and in <strong>the</strong> matters of<br />

acoustics as <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> best in <strong>the</strong> entire<br />

From 2004 to 2006 a rec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> of<br />

The patients had to do l<strong>on</strong>g walk <strong>on</strong> bare feet<br />

7 DweLLinG house (Jūras iela 2)<br />

Built around 1909 and is <strong>the</strong> richest in details<br />

and most m<strong>on</strong>umental in its c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

wooden house of neoclassicism in Jurmala. Its’<br />

historical façade and interior was renovated<br />

in 1997. The main facade is decorated with<br />

medalli<strong>on</strong> with a woman’s portrait low relief.<br />

Artist E.Krūmiņš renovated <strong>the</strong> lost medalli<strong>on</strong><br />

Jomas street – <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> central and oldest streets of Jurmala with<br />

restaurants, summer terraces, hotels and cafés with live music.<br />

The name of <strong>the</strong> street in <strong>Latvian</strong> means parallel lines in <strong>the</strong> sand dunes.<br />

Nowadays <strong>the</strong>re is a traditi<strong>on</strong> to celebrate <strong>the</strong> first pedestrian street’s in<br />

Jurmala - Jomas street’s - festival.<br />

8 JŪRAs sTReeT<br />

Jūras street is closest parallel street to <strong>the</strong> sea that is<br />

bordering with dunes. Even in <strong>the</strong> middle of 19th<br />

century <strong>the</strong> area where streets Jūras and Jomas<br />

now are was covered with wet forest. In <strong>the</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

part of <strong>the</strong> 19th century it was allowed to build<br />

dwelling and boarding houses here, and rich people<br />

started to build houses <strong>on</strong> large sites. Almost all<br />

architectural styles of Jurmala can be observed here,<br />

many of buildings are architectural m<strong>on</strong>uments.<br />

9 DweLLinG house (Jūras iela 6)<br />

Built in 1913 this house is a typical art nouveau<br />

building with very expressive asymmetric compositi<strong>on</strong><br />

of dimensi<strong>on</strong>s, and with graceful gazebo that<br />

counterbalances <strong>the</strong> dimensi<strong>on</strong>s of <strong>the</strong> house. In<br />

window openings and roof’s top decorati<strong>on</strong>s rich<br />

woodcarving decorati<strong>on</strong>s are used, but in verandas’<br />

windows – arched glass, all those things are very<br />

characteristic of Jurmala’s wooden architecture.<br />

10 BenJAMins’ house (Jūras iela 13)<br />

Built in 1939, architect – L.Vitlin. During <strong>the</strong><br />

first period of Latvia’s independence, <strong>the</strong> famous<br />

publisher and social worker E.Benjamina had a<br />

summer cottage here, and it is <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> most<br />

impressive buildings in Jurmala. The elegance<br />

of <strong>the</strong> house is stressed by <strong>the</strong> natural st<strong>on</strong>e<br />

panelling with its evidence of World War II: darker<br />

coloured areas that were a demand for air defence<br />

requirements. The interior of <strong>the</strong> house is also<br />

kept, as almost 50 years after <strong>the</strong> war <strong>the</strong> House<br />

1 4<br />

<strong>on</strong> Benjamins served as summer residency for<br />

authorities of <strong>the</strong> Soviet Uni<strong>on</strong>. Today many pieces<br />

of articstic property of <strong>the</strong> end of 19th century<br />

and beginning of 20th century still can be found<br />

<strong>the</strong>re. A fence that surrounds <strong>the</strong> house is <strong>the</strong> most<br />

magnificent in Jurmala.<br />

11 scuLPTuRe BRuņuRuPucis (<strong>the</strong> Turtle)<br />

recreati<strong>on</strong>. One of <strong>the</strong> most prominent social centres<br />

for spendind leisure time of <strong>the</strong> 20th century<br />

that is located in <strong>the</strong> dune area. Pavili<strong>on</strong> offered<br />

restaurant and popular whirling dance floor. One of<br />

<strong>the</strong> most famous visitors of <strong>the</strong> pavili<strong>on</strong> is <strong>the</strong> King<br />

of Sweden Gustav V, who was <strong>the</strong>re in summer of<br />

1929. The building was renovated in 2005.<br />

13 FoRMeR BATh-house oF e. Rācene<br />

Built during years 1911 to 1916. All year round it<br />

offered different baths: heated sea water, carb<strong>on</strong>ic<br />

acid, oxygenous and balsam of fir baths.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Soviet times, it served as <strong>the</strong> resort’s spa<br />

centre – <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> best medical instituti<strong>on</strong>s with<br />

<strong>the</strong> best facilities in former Jurmala. In 2003 <strong>the</strong><br />
