About
Lielvārde is a town on the Daugava River southeast of Riga in Latvia. It is associated with the poet Andrejs Pumpurs and with a traditional patterned belt that has become a Latvian cultural symbol.
Notes
Modern town, historic manor, railway station and neighbouring Rembate do not have identical scope. French history dates official Lielvārde to 1919. French and English accounts make conflicting claims about Soviet-era deportations, not used in description.
