Discover Sece: Culture and Recreation

The main topics in Sece cover different areas. The church represents architecture and concerts, Pērses is a free recreational area, while the Daugava Stone and BRISTEN have specific cultural-historical and geodetic significance, respectively.

Pērses is a free recreation area in the Sece Parish. Four wooden roofed shelters have been set up there. They have tables and chairs for visitors seeking recreation. Its location provides another point of reference: the Pērses recreation area is opposite the Koknese Castle Ruins.

The Church of Sece is a neo-Gothic building with a stone-brick wall and a tower. Concerts are held in the Church of Sece. The Daugava Stone was created by the sculptor Vilnis Titāns. It marks the place where the river comes closest to the Sece Parish without passing through its territory. A local legend about the Daugava Stone and its designation as the Sece Stone explains the name of the stone and its relationship to the Daugava River.

The BRISTEN point is marked by a granite cube with a lead center. Two intersecting lines, a point in the middle and the year 1828 are engraved in the cube. The BRISTEN point in Sece Municipality is part of the Struve Geodetic Arc. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. Restoration work at the site was completed in November 2020, and the inauguration took place on 14 May 2021.

The four topics offer different points of reference for your choice. Pērses is described as a free recreation area with roofed shelters, tables and chairs.
