Bukulti is a village and northeastern suburb of Riga, the capital of Latvia.
Demographics
As of 2013, a survey was taken with residents of the village and 62% said they enjoyed their life in the town. 51% of surveyees claimed the best part about the town was the Baltezers Canal.[1]
History
Early mentions of the town come from the 12th and 13th century. The earliest one dates to 1297, when a mill named Neiermīle mill (which was closed in 1894) was built by the Livonian Order. Later, the Livonian Order built Ādaži Castle.[2]
Highways and railways
In 1837, the Riga-Neiermīle highway started operating. In 1858, this road was added to the Saint Petersburg–Warsaw railway. In 1889, the Riga-Pskov railway was opened.[2]
Landmarks
Ādaži Castle
The Ādaži Castle was one of the many buildings created by the Livonian Order. However, it was burnt down 1559 (along with the mill), during the Livonian War. After the end of the war in 1586, the castle was rebuilt. It was destroyed again in 1624, and yet again in 1656 during the Second Northern War, but was rebuilt yet again.[3]
Neiermīle mill
The Neiermīle mill was opened in 1297 by the Livonian Order, and it was destroyed in 1559 and rebuilt in 1586. The mill was forced to close in 1894 due to the fact that the mill pond was flooding the nearby crops.[3]
