Caurumkrogs

"Caurumkrogs" is a unique open-air painting gallery, where visitors can permanently see the works of art, of famous Latvian painter Jānis Staņislavs Roze (1823-1897).

Jānis Staņislavs Roze was the first well-known Latvian portraitist. His life journey began in "Saulītes", which is why the open-air gallery is located there nowadays.
