Talsi Pilskalns
(Hill fort) is the beginning of everything and the soul of the
town. It rises 32 meters above the level of Talsi lake. A legend
tells that a father had three sons - Talsis, Telsis and Tasis. All
three went to seek their fortune. Talsis found his here, built a
castle, cultivated fields and fell in love with a woman.
In written
chronicles Talsi (Talseen) as a place name was first mentioned in
1231 when the Pope Balduin of Alna made a treaty with the elders of
the Couronian tribes.
1936 - 1938
archeological research under the guidance of A. Karnups revealed
that the Livonians, a Fenno-Ugrian tribe lived here until the 10th
century. They named this place "Talusse" that means "a secluded
place". From the 10th - 14th century one of the biggest Couronian
castles stood here and it had a castle-front and 4 hectares large
ancient town. The 50 building remains and around 4000 artifacts
that were found indicate that highly skilled craftsmen lived in the
castle.
Song festivals,
ethnographic dancing and singing events, brass band performances,
St John's Day bonfires and fireworks have taken and still take
place in Pilskalns.
During the town
festival fabulous candle flowers blossom at the foot of the hill
and in the Talsi lake (historically also called Martinelli and
Ronne lake).
