==Castillo==
El asentamiento más antiguo en Cēsis es la colina fortificada en Riekstu, un castillo de madera fortificado constriuido por una tribu conocida como ''Vendos''. El gran montículo junto con parte de su sistema de fortificación todavía puede verse en el parque del castillo. Este asentamiento estaba cerca de las mayores [[ruta comercial|rutas comerciales]] entre el oeste y el este y dominaba el paisaje regional.
The oldest settlement in Cēsis is the hill fort on Riekstu hill, a fortified wooden castle built by a tribe known as the [[Vends]]. The high mound with its partly preserved fortification system can still be seen in the Castle Park. This settlement was located near major [[trade route]]s from west to east and dominated the regional countryside.
 
German crusaders known as the [[Livonian Brothers of the Sword]] began construction of a castle ''Wenden'' near the hill fort in 1209. When the castle was enlarged and fortified, it served as the residence for the Order's Master. In 1577, during the [[Livonian War]], the garrison destroyed the castle to prevent it from falling into the control of [[Ivan IV of Russia|Ivan the Terrible]], who was decisively defeated in the [[Battle of Wenden (1578)]]. In 1598 it was incorporated into the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] and the [[Wenden Voivodeship]] was created. In 1620 Wenden was conquered by Sweden. It was rebuilt afterwards, but destroyed again in 1703 during the [[Great Northern War]] by the [[Armed forces of the Russian Federation|Russian army]] and left in a ruined state. From the end of the 16th century, the premises of the Order's castle were adapted to the requirements of the Cēsis castle estate. When in 1777 the Cēsis castle estate was obtained by Count Sievers, he had his new residence house built on the site of the [[Eastern Bloc|eastern bloc]]k of the castle, joining its end wall with the fortification tower. Since 1949, the Cēsis History Museum has been located in the New Castle on the Cēsis Castle estate. The front yard of the New Castle is enclosed by a granary and a stable-coach house, which now houses the [[Exhibition center|Exhibition Hall]] of the Museum. Beside the granary there is the oldest brewery in Latvia — [[Cēsu Alus]], which was built in 1878 during the latter years of Count Sievers' residency, but its origins date back to the period of the Livonian Order.
