Endine Tomese algkool Lahingupaik
The former Tomes elementary school is located between the Baldones - Tomes road (V4, called "Düna Straße" on the First World War map), the Tomes Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Tomes cemetery. The school, like the neighboring church, suffered during the battles of the First World War (1916). In "Lost Latvia" of the National Library of Latvia (LNB) you can see a photo of the first Tomes school in the house of Siliņi (1925). 1926 built the present stone school building. After the school reform, the school was closed. Today, the Ķegum County Museum and Library are located here. 2017 On December 13, the sculpture "Man needs a dog" dedicated to Regina Ezer was opened in the courtyard of the museum, sculpted by Aigars Zemītis. On the wall of the building, a commemorative plaque has been installed for the inhabitants of Tome who were deported to Siberia.
