Jānis Zilgalvis the Study of Valmiermuiža: History and Owners, Manor House and Closed Garden
Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 15, Number 15 DOI: 10.22616/j.landarchart.2019.15.04 The Study of Valmiermuiža: History and Owners, Manor house and Closed Garden Jānis Zilgalvis, a full member of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, Latvia Abstract. Valmiermuiža is situated in the north of Vidzeme and borders with the town of Valmiera. The manor is less known than its other outstanding “sisters”, for example, manors of Mazsalaca (Valtenberģi), Cesvaine, Dikļi and others. The most famous person among the owners of Valmiermuiža is Elisabeth von Hallart, who was an initiator of the movement of Brothers’ congregations in Vidzeme, which turned into the wakening movement of common people. There were other owners but they were less known than the von Loewensterns who left valuables items. There is little information available on the manor’s park, and no research has been conducted regarding the closed garden. There is an urgent need to include the manor buildings in the list of the state protected cultural monuments in order to protect them from wrong building activities and other modifications that are not in accordance with the historical cultural environment and spatial structure of the plan. Keywords: protection and preservation of architectural and cultural heritage, parks and gardens, investigation of the manor house architecture Introduction History and Owners Previously the research on the manor of In 1622 the Swedish troops occupied Valmiera Valmiermuiža (in German: Wolmarshof) was county. The Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus conducted in 1986, and that material was a valuable presented the district of Valmiera castle, source of information for further research but new which included the manors of Wolmarshof, Zempen, information appeared in literature and archives [1]. -

ESUKA – JEFUL 2017, 8–1: 41–59 INSIGHT INTO THE CITY/TOWN NAMES OF LATVIA Laimude Balode University of Helsinki, University of Latvia Abstact. The origin of place names is a research topic for linguists (or onomasticians) and geographers, but since ancient times a wide range of people have also been inter- ested in the subject. As Latvia is the closest neighbour to both Lithuania and Estonia, they share, to a large extent, a common history, as well as – because of this fact – a number of borrowed common words and names. This article is based on the toponym- ical material included in the short dictionary of Latvian geographical names entitled “No Abavas līdz Zilupei” (“From Abava to Zilupe. The origin of Latvian geographical names”), which was compiled by Laimute Balode and Ojārs Bušs and published in Rīga in 2015. It offers insights into the contemporary situation of Latvian oikonyms as well as providing comparisons of the names of inhabited places with their historical names. Keywords: onomastics, place names, Latvia DOI: https://doi.org/10.12697/jeful.2017.8.1.03 1. Introduction Today, Latvia has 9 cities and 67 towns (N=76) with town privi- leges. Naturally there are ancient cities, such as Rīga; founded in 1201, it has had town privileges since 1225. Other examples include Valmiera and Cēsis, which were granted town privileges in 1323, and Aizpute, Kuldīga, Ventspils, which were granted town status in 1378. In addition, Ludza was recorded in historical annals as early as in 1173, but town privileges were not granted until 1777. Then we must also consider the newest towns of Latvia: Jūrmala has been recognised as a town since 1956 and several inhabited places – Aknīste, Cesvaine, Ķegums, Pāvilosta, Saulkrasti, Seda, Stende, and Vangaži – were adjudged as towns in the first years of the second independence – from 1991. -
Missions in and from Latvia Particulary Youth with a Mission During 1988 – 2008
MISSIONS IN AND FROM LATVIA PARTICULARY YOUTH WITH A MISSION DURING 1988 – 2008 Submitted to fulfill the thesis requirement for a Bachelor’s Degree University of the Nations College/Faculty of Christian Ministries Kristina Ecis April 2009 ii KRISTINA ECIS has successfully passed the thesis requirements for the completion of the Bachelor’s Thesis. Thesis Committee: _______________________________ Date: ____________ Thesis Advisor _______________________________ Date: ____________ Committee Member iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To YWAM Latvia founders Maris and Judite Dzelzs, who have showed great example of obedience to God and created a platform for missions; to my pastor Erberts Bikše, who was first to encourage and support me in missions; to my mother Laimdota Kalna, who was willing to release me to ministry in YWAM, even though that was a strange and unknown concept; and to Janis, Peteris and Filips whose patience, trust and encouragement helped me to finish this part of the journey. iv ABSTRACT This thesis will deal with missions development in Latvia. The tentative hypothesis is that despite complicated history the Church in Latvia has been active in missions movement and that missions agency Youth With A Mission in Latvia has played a major role missions mobilizing. The primary questions for this thesis are - to discover missions development in Latvia during the last years of Communism until present day; - to explore establishment and growth of one particular international mission agency, Youth With A Mission (YWAM), - in Latvia and its influence on the Latvian Church and society; - and to look for new strategies for missions in Latvia and from Latvia for the next ten years. -
