Zagare is a small town consisting of two historical parts; Old Zagare and New Zagare. It is located in the north of Lithuania, on the border with Latvia. The town is one of the most historical in the country, having first been mentioned in the history books in 1198, making it even older than Riga. An archeoligcal find in 1999, revealed evidence of a castle and settlement at Raktuve mound, inhabited by a Duke of Žiemgaliai [the ethnic region in which Zagare is located], dating back to the 9th Century.
Zagare is rich in both cultural and natural heritage. The town centre is an urban monument, owing to the
fact that its street network dates back to the 16th
Century, and due to its 19th Century red brick buildings. In New Zagare, the Naryshkin Estate complex can be found.
Zagare also boasts a Regional Park, which was established to preserve the landscape, the natural ecosystem of the Svete valley and Zagare forest. On the shores of Lake Zvelgaitis, visitors will find picnic shelters with log tables, and bird watching towers.
