| Event description: | A major Baltic heraldry exposition was held from May to November 2003 in the castle of Rundale in southern Latvia. The castle formerly belonged to the Biron family and was known as Ruhental. The castle and its beautiful gardens have been almost completely restored to their original splendor. The exposition had some 1500 objects on display from various museums as well as from private collections in Germany. There were a number of items related to Keyerlingks including the orginal document granting the Keyserlingks the title of Count. My wife Brigitte, my brother Bob and I visted the exposition in October . You can see some pictures I took of the expostion at the website: www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=heyfy4z.3nkt0233&x=1&y=-4gnufk. I have also posted the opening speech given by Dieter von Samson-Himmelstejerna and an article about the exposition written by Monika von Hirschheydt which appeared in the "Nachrichtenblatt der Balitischen Ritterschaft" of September 2003. You can see these documents by clicking on the title of this item and then on the "Information Center". |
