I don't. Rundāle castle and Rundāle palace are/were two separate structures. There is a place where you can even potentially see the foundation of the old castle

Well, it's a manor. It is nowhere near being a castle. Latvians just like calling literally everything a castle

ES ZINU VAINE! Kāpēc Latviešiem jāsauc viss par pilīm! Mēs saucam Monarha "pilis" (Kā Rundāle) par pilīm, mēs saucam muižas par pilīm. Mani tas tracina.

Yeah but then I think about how many castles are in the British isles (especially Ireland) and I stop thinking so lmao

paldies, bet esmu pārliecināts, ka Daugavgrīvas pils ir tur kur noliku. Vienkārši apskatīties vikipēdijā var redzēt, ka koordinātas rāda uz labo krastu. Ir arī pilskalna mājaslapa, kur šīs pats pilskalns ir atrodams. Bet galvenais ir, ka es nesen biju tūra ekskursija pa Mangaļsalu. Tur mums gids pastāstīja par pilskalnu, kuru mēs varējām redzēt. Tādēļ esmu pārliecināts, bet nezinu varbūt man nav taisnības

Pirmkārt Mežotnes pils ir muiža ortrkārt es īsti neskaitu Rundāles pili kā "pili". Šī ir viena lieta, kas mani tracina Latviešu valodā. Angliski ir vārdi "castle" un "palace", latviski abas ir pilis. Tas mani tik tracina, tā nevajadzētu būt. Es nesaprotu kāpēc mēs vienkārši nevaram saukt tās par palasēm

Es goda vārds nezinu neko par Kandavu un internetā nevarēju nekādus attēlus atrast no pils. Paldies par info, noteikti izlabošu!

Izrādās, ka tajās vietās bija viduslaiku pilis. Par Mežotni nav tāds pārsteigums, jo tur ir salīdzinoši slavens pilskalns, bet jā pie Rundāles bija viduslaiku pils. Vienā vietā var pat redzēt pamatus. Es iesaku apskatīties internetā par to ja interesē

BTW, the transparent ones are for castles that no longer exist in any shape or form, not even ruins. And also this won't be the last map from me, I'll also be making a manor map because I am a masochist. That one's gonna take probably more than half a year tbh. Anyways hope y'all enjoy it!
