Cēsu Kultūras centrs

Cesis Culture centre has been built as a place for cultural activities already in 1915, attracting private donations of local inhabitants. It has been a cultural place in all times – both in Soviet system and in independent Latvia. Our large concert hall has always have been full with spectators interested to see a new play prepared by local theatre group or to hear a wonderful music played by some guest orchestra.
