The database of medieval Livonian castles contains records of medieval castles, providing data related to sources concerning the castle or its surrounding region, occasionally referencing specific historical figures associated with the castle, as well as links to other databases, primarily those focused on architecture. The cited written sources include various charters from the 13th to 16th centuries, whose texts or at least summaries have been preserved and published in source collections. As several, particularly smaller and private fortresses, are not reflected in such sources, in their case, chronicles compiled during the late Middle Ages and the Livonian War (e.g., Russow, Renner) have been referenced. The database is a work in progress, undergoing continuous enhancement and expansion.
