Koknese Castle (Latvian: Kokneses pils) dates back to the 13th century. The castle was originally built up on a high bluff overlooking the Daugava river valley. In 1965 a hydroelectric dam was built downriver, creating a reservoir that partially submerged the castle and flooded the surrounding valley. (Koknese, Latvia)
