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.

treatment and recreati<strong>on</strong>. In any time of a year people come here to enjoy<br />

The name of <strong>the</strong> district „Melluzi” is known<br />
already from <strong>the</strong> 17th century – in 1963<br />
a taverna „Melluzi” was opened here. The<br />
land was owned by <strong>the</strong> Duke f<strong>on</strong> Firks<br />
and when in 1827 Carl f<strong>on</strong> Firks built<br />
a kurhouse here, <strong>the</strong> place was called<br />
Carlsbad II.<br />
During World War I <strong>the</strong> kurhouse burnt and<br />
later <strong>on</strong> this place a park „Melluzi” was made.<br />
In 1930 in <strong>the</strong> park a wooden c<strong>on</strong>cert stage<br />
was built, where not <strong>on</strong>ly c<strong>on</strong>certs but also<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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