==Castillo==

 

Los cruzados alemanes conocidos como [[Hermanos Livonios de la Espada]] comenzaron la construcción del castillo ''Wenden'' cerca de la colina fortificada en [[1209]]. Cuando se amplió y amuralló el castillo sirvió como residencia para el Maestro de la Orden. En [[1577]], durante la [[Guerra Livona]], la guarnición destruyó el castillo para prevenir que cayera en manos [[Iván IV de Rusia|Ivan el Terrible]] quién sería derrotado durante la [[Batalla de Wenden]] (1578). En 1598 se incorporó a la [[República de las Dos Naciones]] y se creó la [[Wenden Voivodeship]]. En 1620 [[Suecia]] conquistó Wenden. Fue reconstruída más tarde pero arrasada nuevamente en [[1703]] durante la [[Gran Guerra del Norte]] a manos del [[Fuerzas Armadas de Rusia|Ejército ruso]]. Desde finales del [[siglo XVI]], 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.
