Kurelian headquarters in Stiklos Memorial site

The Annahite Hunting Lodge in Stikli was the headquarters of the Kurelians during World War II from October 29 to November 14, 1944. This building has survived to this day.

The surroundings of Stikli are rich not only with swamps and forests, but also with sand. In 1897, the new Annahite glass factory began operating - this is how this Latvian settlement got its name Stikli. In 1900, right there on the shore of Lake Stikli, the so-called Annahite hunting castle was built, or rather, a building in which the factory manager lived.
