From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tērvete is an air base in Latvia, located 2 km east of Kalnamuiža. It is a minor airfield, probably used during World War II. Although it appears on American Department of Defense Operational Navigation Charts from the 1980s, the air base may have been demolished and overgrown by forest, as no trace is noted on Google Earth imagery. Tērvete is also where a historic castle was built for a king. The king made a ring called the "namejs" so he could be identified by family. But Russians got hold of this information and sought the ring to kill the king (during a war) to have victories. The villagers also created these rings in order to protect the king. And this the reason for the namejs being a popular ring for Latvians.
