Dzintari. Aristocratic Edinburgh

Dzintari is one of the parts of the city of Jūrmala, In 1874, in honor of the marriage of Maria, the daughter of the Russian Emperor Alexander II, with Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, the son of Queen Victoria of Great Britain, the colony of cottages established in the forest area of ​​the Bulduri manor gained the name of Edinburgh. At the time, when the neighboring lands of Majorenhoff (now – Majori) rapidly developed as a place of trade and pleasure in the 1870s, Edinburgh was formed as a place of residence for wealthy Rīga residents and vacationing aristocrats with magnificent summer houses and villas. Summer was celebrated in Edinburgh, enjoying walks on the beach, swimming, playing tennis, visiting both "bathhouses" and concerts, hosting friends and acquaintances. Along with the opening of the Rīga-Tukums railway line in 1877, a railway station was also established in Edinburgh. In 1878, a stage was built for holding concerts. Since 1897, various theater troupes and musical orchestras regularly performed here. Edinburgh earned the fame of the most aristocratic bathing spots in Jūrmala. After the establishment of the Republic of Latvia in 1920, Edinburgh was included in the newly created city of Rīgas Jūrmala. At this time, Edinburgh, which had developed into a prestigious mansion district for the wealthiest summer residents, also began to build typical family houses, which used the classical forms popular in Jūrmala and the architectural details of national romanticism. In 1922 Edinburgh was renamed Dzintari.

The reconstruction of the building won the 1st prize in the Jurmala Historical Architecture Award in 2023.

The water healing center offered sea water, sulfur water and mud baths, massages, exercise classes, Charcot showers, electric treatments. In 1913, doctor Maksimovičs established the Rīgas Jūrmala Society of Doctors, the purpose of which was to study the effects of seaside healing factors on the human body, contributing to the development of the Rīgas Jūrmala resort. After the death of M. Maksimović in 1923, the sanatorium continued its operation under the name "Edinburgh". After the Second World War, several wooden buildings were used for the construction of the "Baltija" sanatorium. Currently, the remaining buildings are privately owned.

The beginnings of the institution can be traced back to 1945, when the gastroenterology sanatorium "Baltija" was established in several buildings of the former M. Maksimovičs ‘s sanatorium complex nearby. In the 70s of the 20th century, a multi-storey building was built here, the architectural solution of which was considered very modern and successful at that time. The remains of the mineral water pavilion of the "Baltija" sanatorium still can be seen nearby. In 1959, a 400-meter deep well was dug in the territory of the sanatorium. Natural drinking mineral water "Baltija" containing chlorides, sulfates and sodium flowed out of it. A pavilion was created next to the sanatorium building, where vacationers could drink this healing water. Its composition was similar to Ķemeri mineral water, and it was used in the treatment of stomach and intestinal diseases. The remains of the former sanatorium "Baltija" building still can be seen here. The first floor level of the once modern building was built on reinforced concrete pillars, which allowed the use of glazing in the decoration of the hall and entrance. Next to the multi-storey residential building there was a three-storey building, on the first floor of which there was a billiard room and a library, on the second floor - a canteen with a summer terrace, on the third floor - a dance hall and a concert hall. The two buildings were connected by a gallery. The three-story building, as well as the pool building, have not survived to this day.

One of the newest and most popular recreation spots in Jūrmala opened to visitors in 2008.

Children's playgrounds, skating ramps and shopping pavilions are arranged in the park's 13 hectares, to which boardwalks and bridges lead. Everything - from the signs to the trash cans - fits into the overall design handwriting. As the critic has aptly noted: "mastering nature, not transforming it, but making it more convenient."

Adventure parks "Tarzāns" and "Tīklu Parks" have been operating here in the summer seasons for several years.

The central object of the park is the 33-meter-high observation tower designed by Arnis Kleinbergs (ARHIS office), which is comparable in slenderness and height to the Jurmala pines. The 203 steps of the open structure lead to the viewing platform at a height of 33.5 m. The 12 balconies built in the facades of the tower, on the way to the top, open up a view of all four sides of the sky.

Before that, in 1976, the game and amusement palace "Daile" was built here according to the project of the architect Edgars Šēnbergs, which was one of the most important buildings of modern architecture both in the context of Jūrmala and Latvia. The "Daile" was a place where concerts, conferences, spa science exhibitions were held, and a bowling alley was set up there. In one wing of the recreation complex, there was a children's cafe "Ki-ke-ri-gi". Especially for this purpose, an interior corresponding to the children's theme was created: wooden chairs with high backs with wood carvings that resemble fairy-tale thrones, dishes with drawings of fairy-tale characters, wall paintings and stained-glass windows. At the entrance, guests were greeted by a dwarf in a funny hat, while the central character of the cafe - a rooster - stood and moved his head. On the menu - food and drinks according to specially developed recipes: "Forest stump", "Golden nuts", "Magic wands", "Snow White's Treat". On Sundays, puppet theater actors entertained the visitors, and at the end of the year, New Year's entertainment programs were held. Amusement park "Lunaparks" with carousels, gaming machines, a children's autodrome and a Ferris wheel operated every summer on the park's territory. In 2002, the "Daile" building was demolished.
