Coastal defence batteries at Bolderaja
Fortification

Located in Bolderāja - east of Lielupes Street and southeast of Jātnieku Street on the bank of the Daugava.

Remains of four exploded battery positions remain. These batteries, which contained cannons of the 152nd caliber, are part of the former Riga fortification system, the aim of which was to protect the city from attackers coming (came) from the sea. From the top of the batteries you can clearly see the Daugava and the newly flooded northern part of Krievu Island.

At the end of 2023, during the improvement works of the territory, one of the four batteries was partially destroyed.
