Did you know?
Jelgava is Latvia’s fourth largest city with a history of more than 755 years and the
centre of education, culture, and economy of the Zemgale region. Jelgava’s old name
is Mitau, which was used until 1940, when Jelgava was officially used as the name of
the city in the documents.
The city dates back to 1265, when the Livonian Order’s Grand Master Konrad von
Mandern built a castle on an island between the Lielupe and the Driksa Rivers. Jelgava
was granted its city rights and coat of arms in 1573, and its symbol – a moose – has
been preserved in the coat of arms until the present day.
Jelgava flourished during the time of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (1561-1795)
and was later the capital of the Courland Governorate. The leaders of independent
Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland have studied here. During the Second World War, most
of the city’s historic buildings were destroyed, and in the post-war years, architecture
appropriate to the time emerged, but today the city’s architecture encompasses both
the ancient and the modern.
Jelgava is a city of students and festivals. Jelgava Palace is home to the Latvia University
of Life Sciences and Technologies, where more than 1,000 students start their
studies each year, while annual traditions are continued in festivals and celebrations,
including the creation and exhibition of ice and sand sculptures, the Milk, Bread and
Honey Festival and the unique milk parcel boat regatta. View of J. Čakstes Boulevard and Mītava Bridge
