The Vangusalas Dīnamarka rock

The rock was once placed next to the Vangusalas estate at the point where the borders of four rural municipalities – Lielvārde, Lēdmane, Rembate and Jumprava – meet. Two signs have been engraved in the rock: a bishop’s scepter and cross and a circle with a cross in the middle. The scepter and cross were symbols of the Rīga archdiocese and show that during the time of the Livonian Order (13th – 15th century) these lands along the Daugava had been part of the Rīga archdiocese territory and had been marked at Vangusalas.
