A wedding venue in Vidzeme where everything happens in one place
Igate Castle is a Neo-Renaissance manor house in Vidriži parish, Limbaži municipality — about an hour’s drive from Rīga and 15 minutes from Limbaži. The castle grounds are surrounded by Mill Lake and a well-kept park.
The ceremony in the park, the evening celebration in the castle and the night in the rooms can all happen in one place. Guests do not have to travel from the ceremony to the party, or think about the road home after it.
Memories for a lifetime
A wedding with an old-world aura
At Igate Castle your wedding day gains something that cannot be built anew: almost a century and a half of history, the shade of old trees and the quiet by the water. Here every moment looks like a memory from the very start.
Exceptional surroundings
An old park with mighty trees, an avenue and Mill Lake right beside it. A ceremony under the open sky, a photo shoot by the water and an evening walk in the setting sun — all just a few steps away.
A special atmosphere
When the candles and the castle windows light up in the evening, the celebration becomes intimate and cosy. Guests stay right here in the castle, and the morning after the wedding begins unhurriedly.
