(Latvijas Radio korespondents ) The pandemic has hit the cultural and entertainment sector hard, just as it has hit most other sectors. Therefore, new ways are being sought to allow tourists and others to spend time safely in these conditions at historic buildings. Representatives of several Latvian castles and manors are reorienting their cultural and entertainment offers by taking them outdoors. However, other cultural and historical sites have been forced closed to their doors to visitors.
During the ongoing pandemic, many people are taking the opportunity to visit manor and castle parks. According to Jānis Lazdāns, the head of the Latvian Castles and Manors Association, they need to be arranged so that guests have more opportunities for open air recreation.
