Resort history<br />
During <strong>the</strong> 13 th to 16 th centuries most of <strong>the</strong> current<br />
Jūrmala city territory was included in former Liv<strong>on</strong>ian<br />
order state. Small fishermen villages started to emerge<br />
al<strong>on</strong>g seashore.<br />
The oldest part of Jūrmala is Sloka. Sloka <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> bank<br />
of river Lielupe flourished in <strong>the</strong> 17 th century during<br />
governance of Duke Jacob, when after deepening<br />
of river Slocene, it was possible to supply ships with<br />
products using Kauguri port. Kilns of copper, glass and<br />
lime, also mills started to operate here.<br />
Kauguri: it is <strong>the</strong> part of Jūrmala where most of<br />
Jūrmala’s inhabitants live. The old name of fishermen<br />
village, Kaugern, first appeared in documents in<br />
<strong>the</strong> 16 th century and suggests an idea that <strong>the</strong> first<br />
inhabitants here were Livs.<br />
In its turn first summer residents in <strong>the</strong> end of<br />
<strong>the</strong> 18 th century that lived in Kauguri village houses,<br />
mostly were Courland’s landlords. This fact allows<br />
coming to a c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong> that Jūrmala is <strong>on</strong>e <strong>the</strong> oldest<br />
seaside resorts in Europe.<br />
Up to 19 th century fishery was <strong>the</strong> main branch<br />
of occupati<strong>on</strong> for <strong>the</strong> inhabitants of Jūrmala. Fresh<br />
smoked fish was delivered to cottagers and was sent<br />
also to Rīga.<br />
Bathing places of Jūrmala gained popularity in <strong>the</strong><br />
19th century.<br />
The beginning of <strong>the</strong> 19 th century is <strong>the</strong> dawn of<br />
Jūrmala resort history. After <strong>the</strong> war between Russia<br />
and France in 1812, <strong>the</strong> wounded Russian army officers<br />
came to take rest at local fishermen houses.<br />
The first ba<strong>the</strong>s’ establishment “Marienbad” in<br />
Dubulti was opened in 1870. Doctor Johan Christian<br />
Nordstrom started to use climate <strong>the</strong>rapy as a course<br />
of treatment; he indicated jogging al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> beach,<br />
sea water treatments, as well as physical activities in<br />
fresh air.<br />
The end of <strong>the</strong>19 th century – beginning of <strong>the</strong> 20 th<br />
century was <strong>the</strong> time when resort started flourishing;<br />
it was <strong>the</strong> time when most of health establishments,<br />
wooden architecture houses and resort infrastructure<br />
were built. In those days bathing houses with bathtubs<br />
of warmed sea water were built for <strong>the</strong> purpose of<br />
healing treatments and relaxati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 19 th century when no bathing<br />
suits were known, separate swimming hours for men<br />
and women were set. Since 1897 special hours for<br />
swimming in bathing suits were introduced – bathing<br />
suit c<strong>on</strong>sisted of trousers up to knee, and a sleeveless<br />
shirt with a belTel. In 1914 swimming without bathing<br />
suits was banned.<br />

In 1844 <strong>the</strong> first steamboat in Jūrmala started to<br />
operate and brought approximately 150 passengers<br />
at a time. Later five steamboats were bringing people<br />
from Rīga and Jelgava. The biggest steamboat<br />
“Undīne” started to run al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> river in 1857, and<br />
was able to pick up approximately 500 pers<strong>on</strong>s. A<br />
street in 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 “Rīga – Tukums”<br />
in 1877 was a notable event as it c<strong>on</strong>tributed to<br />
<strong>the</strong> development and growth of Ķemeri resort and<br />
Jūrmala bathing places.<br />
The first ir<strong>on</strong> bridge was built in 1876. During <strong>the</strong><br />
World War I <strong>the</strong> bridge was det<strong>on</strong>ated when Russian<br />
army draw back. In 1922 a new railway bridge was<br />
opened, and again it was det<strong>on</strong>ated in <strong>the</strong> end of<br />
World War II, it was rebuilt in 1949.<br />
“Jūrmala’s gold” or famous strawberries came from<br />
Jūrmala – <strong>the</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> city called Melluži. Fruitful<br />
strawberry gardens with high quality berries were<br />
located <strong>the</strong>re. Seeds of strawberries were brought<br />
from France, but ripe berries were delivered not <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
to Riga, but also to St. Petersburg.<br />
Ķemeri regi<strong>on</strong> with its curative qualities of sulphur<br />
springs is well known since 18 th century. The first<br />
bathing house was built <strong>on</strong> state land in 1838. This<br />
land was allocated to <strong>the</strong> needs of sulphur springs<br />
vulnerary by <strong>the</strong> tsar Nikolay <strong>the</strong> 1 st . This was <strong>the</strong><br />
year of resort’s foundati<strong>on</strong>. Thus Ķemeri originally<br />
developed as a balneological resort, care of which was<br />
so<strong>on</strong> taken by <strong>the</strong> state.<br />
Resort was wide known in <strong>the</strong> Russian Empire;<br />
in 1912 a direct railroad line Ķemeri – Moscow was<br />
opened. For a c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with Jaunķemeri beach, an<br />
electric tram started to operate.<br />
In 1920 city rights with <strong>the</strong> name of Rīgas Jūrmala<br />
were granted to <strong>the</strong> current territory of Jūrmala from<br />
Priedaine to Kauguri.<br />
In summer of 1950 as much as 29 sanatoriums<br />
and 36 rest houses were open in Jūrmala. In its turn,<br />
in 1980-ies Jūrmala according to <strong>the</strong> amount of<br />
organized guests, ranked 3 rd after famous resorts –<br />
Sochi and Yalta. It was <strong>the</strong> time when in Jūrmala 105<br />
sanatoriums, guest houses, recreati<strong>on</strong> and creative<br />
activities’ houses were open, and <strong>the</strong>y welcomed<br />
more than 300 000 pers<strong>on</strong>s a year.<br />

The presence of beach ensures city with moderate climate c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s: winters<br />
are mild here, air temperature around +1°С, summers are temperate, warm,<br />
but not very hot, average air temperature is +21°С. 50% of <strong>the</strong> town is covered<br />
with pine trees that clear out <strong>the</strong> air and improve its healing quality. Climate<br />
in Jūrmala is moderate and soft, that’s why even in hot days swimming and<br />
sunbathing in Jūrmala is not exhaustive.<br />
There are several kinds of climate <strong>the</strong>rapies in Jūrmala: sunbathing, swimming<br />
in <strong>the</strong> sea, sand bathing (psammo<strong>the</strong>rapy), as well as air <strong>the</strong>rapy.<br />
Sunbathing (natural light <strong>the</strong>rapy)<br />
Sunbathing has positive impact <strong>on</strong> human organism if it is d<strong>on</strong>e correctly<br />
according to medical recommendati<strong>on</strong>s. The sun promotes syn<strong>the</strong>sis of<br />
vitamin D and steng<strong>the</strong>ns <strong>on</strong>e’s body. While sunbathing, it is necessary to cover<br />
head with sunshade or kerchief, also it is recommended to sunba<strong>the</strong> around 10<br />
o’clock when <strong>the</strong> air is cooler and cleaner or in evening hours when intensity of<br />
sunrays has decreased and heat does not cause additi<strong>on</strong>al load <strong>on</strong> heart and<br />
blood circulatory system. The basis of sun dosage is gradual adaptati<strong>on</strong> of body<br />
to sun rays. After sunbathing it is recommended to have 10 to 20 minutes of<br />
rest in shadow, a shower or a bath in <strong>the</strong> sea.
Recreati<strong>on</strong> and healing resources<br />
Swimming in <strong>the</strong> sea<br />
(talasso<strong>the</strong>rapy)<br />

and newest technologies are used. The influence<br />
of swimming <strong>on</strong> your health depends <strong>on</strong> water<br />
temperature, salt c<strong>on</strong>tent and strength of <strong>wave</strong>s. There<br />
are also some recommendati<strong>on</strong>s for swimming:<br />
Swim at no<strong>on</strong> when <strong>the</strong> water and <strong>the</strong> air are warm<br />
enough, as well as 1 to 2 hours after eating, it is<br />
especially referable to pers<strong>on</strong>s with health troubles;<br />

Sand ba<strong>the</strong>s<br />
(psammo<strong>the</strong>rapy)<br />
Psammo<strong>the</strong>rapy – treatment with hot (40 – 46 o C) sand<br />
that can be used during <strong>the</strong> hot summer days. The body<br />

be used. These treatments improve functi<strong>on</strong>s of heart,<br />
blood compositi<strong>on</strong>, streng<strong>the</strong>ns nervous system, trains<br />
system of <strong>the</strong>rmo regulati<strong>on</strong>, as well as streng<strong>the</strong>ns body<br />

hour after a meal, also taking into account <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r<br />
c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, air temperature, strength of wind as well as<br />
average humidity.<br />

Former resort<br />
hotel Marienbāde<br />
(Z. Meierovica<br />
prospekts 41/43)<br />
6<br />
The first resort hotel<br />
in Jūrmala, built in<br />
1870. The resort<br />
became popular<br />
thanks to <strong>the</strong> doctor<br />
J. C. Nordstrom,<br />
who started to use <strong>the</strong> climate <strong>the</strong>rapy. The patients had to do<br />
l<strong>on</strong>g walk <strong>on</strong> bare feet al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> sea, as well as swim in <strong>the</strong> sea.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> World War II, almost whole principal building of <strong>the</strong><br />
health resort was demolished, but later it was rebuilt. Today <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
<strong>the</strong> tower gallery annexes and <strong>the</strong> entrance gate has remained its<br />
original appearance.<br />

Dwelling house<br />
(Jūras iela 2)<br />
Built around 1909<br />
and is <strong>the</strong> richest<br />
7<br />
in details and most<br />
m<strong>on</strong>umental in<br />
its c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
wooden house of<br />
neoclassicism in<br />
Jūrmala. Its’ historical façade and interior was renovated in 1997.<br />
In attic <strong>the</strong>re is a pinnacle, but pictorial asymmetry of <strong>the</strong> building<br />
is supplemented by terraces and column pergolas of basic floors.<br />
The main façade is decorated with medalli<strong>on</strong> with a woman’s<br />
portrait low relief. Artist E. Krūmiņš renovated <strong>the</strong> lost medalli<strong>on</strong><br />
using <strong>the</strong> portrait of <strong>the</strong> new owner of <strong>the</strong> house. House’s interior<br />
has also a fire-place and door leaves.<br />
Jūras Street<br />
Jūras street is closest<br />
parallel street to <strong>the</strong><br />
8<br />
sea that is bordering<br />
with dunes. Even in<br />
<strong>the</strong> middle of 19th<br />
century <strong>the</strong> area<br />
where streets Jūras<br />
and Jomas now are<br />
was covered with wet forest. In <strong>the</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d part of <strong>the</strong> 19th<br />
century it was allowed to build dwelling and boarding houses<br />
here, and very rich people started to build houses <strong>on</strong> large sites.<br />
Almost all architectural styles of Jūrmala can be observed here,<br />
many of buildings are architectural m<strong>on</strong>uments.<br />
9<br />
Dwelling house<br />
(Jūras iela 6)<br />
Built in 1913 this<br />
house is a typical<br />
art nouveau building<br />
with very expressive<br />
asymmetric compositi<strong>on</strong><br />
of dimensi<strong>on</strong>s,<br />
and with graceful gazebo that counterbalances <strong>the</strong> dimensi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
of <strong>the</strong> house. In window openings and roof’s top decorati<strong>on</strong>s rich<br />
woodcarving decorati<strong>on</strong>s are used, but in verandas’ windows –<br />
arched glass, all those things are very characteristic of Jūrmala’s<br />
wooden architecture.<br />
Benjamins’ House<br />
(Jūras iela 13)<br />
Built in 1939, architect –<br />
10<br />
L. Vitlin. During <strong>the</strong> first<br />
period of Latvia’s indepen<br />
dence, <strong>the</strong> famous<br />
publisher and social<br />
worker E. Benjamina had<br />
a summer cottage here, and it is <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> most impressive<br />
buildings in Jūrmala. The elegance of <strong>the</strong> house is stressed by <strong>the</strong><br />
natural st<strong>on</strong>e panelling with its evidence of World War II: darker<br />
coloured areas that were a demand for air defence requirements.<br />
The interior of <strong>the</strong> house is also kept, as almost 50 years after<br />
<strong>the</strong> war <strong>the</strong> House <strong>on</strong> Benjamins served as summer residency for<br />
authorities of <strong>the</strong> Soviet Uni<strong>on</strong>. Today many pieces of articstic<br />
property of <strong>the</strong> end of 19th century and beginning of 20th century<br />
