Aiviekste fording battle trophy collection Museum

The Aiviekste River Battle Trophy Collection is located in Kalsnava parish, Madona region, on the farm "Kamenes". Founded in 2006 by Aivars Klušs.
On August 10, 1944, the 341st Guards Rifle Regiment of the Soviet Army, including the 130th Latvian Rifle Corps, crossed the Aiviekste River. On August 2-6, 1944, they launched an attack in the Medņi-Antuži direction and reached the left bank of the Aiviekste. On August 7 and 8, 1944, units of the 130th Latvian Rifle Corps successfully participated in the Soviet 22nd Army's attack on Krustpils. After the capture of Krustpils, units of the 130th Corps crossed the Aiviekste on August 10 and established a bridgehead on the right bank of the river. This was followed by the Battle of Vietalva, which lasted from August 17 to 24 and ended with the capture of Vietalva.

The number of trophies on display in the collection is extensive – projectiles, shells, grenades, bayonets, ammunition boxes, cans, barrels, household items.
