yesterdays trip - Jurmala  

Sunday 20 April 2008

Yesterday was a great weather, so sunny, so warm... we decided to go to Jurmala.
"Jurmala – the largest resort city in the Baltic States is well-known for its natural treasures – the mild climate, sea, healthy air, curative mud and mineral water. The attraction of Jurmala hides in its almost 33 km long white sand beach, the large pine forest and the natural border of the city – the river Lielupe. In Jurmala, You will discover a combination of charming wooden houses built in the beginning of the last century and modern resort buildings."

We had a nice walk on the beach in Majori (center part of Jurmala), and then we saw these buildings, one is built during the Soviet times, haven't found any info about it, but it's situated on a hill, with a gorgeous view on the beach and sea. This building is first in the video, for now is abandoned.


And another is situated on the beach, same in Majori station, with a huge territory.
Situated on Z.Mejerovitsa's prospectus 43 - sanatorium Marienbad. The building exists since 1870. A gate with a stone fence are constructed in the beginning of 20-th century. The tower with gallery is completed in 1926. The architect Пиранг. In the end of 40th years the basic building has been reconstructed. Some subjects of an interior represent art value. This place looks abandoned too.
