Have you ever thought or dreamed of buying your second home or a holiday home somewhere in the Baltic States? Well, we just had this dream, and the dream was about the city of Cesis (LV: Cēsis)! This is a historic city with more than 800 years of history that is impatiently waiting for new visitors and city dwellers. It’s hard to find another city in the Baltic States, which could compete with the charm of Cesis. More recently this city has become more attractive for business. You may ask why this city has become so popular for both the locals and foreigners? Well, hopefully, Urban Treetops team can provide you with some clarity!

City of history: Cesis
Established in 1206, Cesis is a pearl of historical heritage and is depicting the former glory of Livonian Order. Since the former capital of Livonia was established, the city has generated a lot of important moments for the development of the Baltic States region. Nowadays, this charming city is mainly used as:
  • a tourist destination;
  • a place for cultural, educational and sports events;
  • service, IT business and manufacturing companies;
  • agriculture.

After many renovations, the church of St.Janis still stands strong and has a truly powerful look. Let’s hope that the church will live for centuries as it’s one of the greatest symbols of Cesis.

 
The Old town with its symbolism, medieval streets, old residential and commercial buildings, magnificent architecture and symbolism is a proof of human thoughtfulness. If you are a historian you will love the city of Cesis!
