This article presents one outstanding group of medieval pottery imported to Livonia in the 13th and early 14th centuries – highly decorated lead- glazed redware. Several jugs graphically reconstructed from fragments found during archaeological excavations at the Turaida Castle ruins are examined more closely. Some 8000 ceramic sherds were found during the course of archaeological excavations at Turaida Castle (German – Treiden) from 1976–2000 under the direction of archaeologist Jānis Graudonis but they were not researched and dated. This collection is held by the Turaida Museum Reserve. In the last decade, the museum has begun research of the archaeological collections and already several catalogues have been published. During the research carried out for the ceramic catalogue published in 2019, about two dozen fragments of highly decorated redware covered with coloured lead glazes were found among other ceramic finds. They were sorted by the visually identifiable distinctive marks on the sherd, as well as the motifs of the décor and glaze tones. In this way, parts of more than seven jugs could be distinguished.

The tradition of Polish literature has no continuity in the former Poland’s Livonia. Zofia Rujkowna began her literary adventure in the Polish press published in Latvia in the interwar period. Her poems can be found for example in “Dzwon”, “Nasz Głos”, “Nasze Życie”. She is the author of numerous works dedicated to the land that is situated by the Dvina River. Among them quite a few poems appeared on the occasion of many anniversaries: the anniversary of publishing “Dzwon” or the tenth anniversary of Latgalia’s liberation.

The diocese of Livonia was founded by Stephen Batory with his decree of 4 December 1582 and the status of St. John's Church in Cesis was upgraded to serve as the Livonian bishops' cathedral. The king nominated Andreas Patricius Nidecki to be the bishop who took up the position on 20 May 1585. The episode of counterreformation has left an undoubtedly significant artwork to Vidzeme and the art of Latvia in general - the tomb of bishop Nidecki immured into the wall of the Cesis Cathedral. This type of burial was known already in Italy since the 14th century but presumably, it was not widespread in the territory of Latvia. The tomb of Patricius Nidecki reveals an attempt to create an architectonic construction where order has been used in the arrangement. The base of the monument (130 cm high) is divided by five pilasters, which uphold the profiled cornice. There is a folded quadrate niche on the large base, extended horizontally (102 x 190 cm) and adorned by order motifs. The stone plaque is placed with a figurative relief depicting the recumbent bishop with his sceptre in the left hand and an open book by his right hand. The sculptural solution is worthy of special attention apart from this particular feature. Not only the wall tomb as such, but the peculiar pose of the dead (similar to Etruscan burial examples where the deceased is no longer depicted lying horizontally, but rising a little from this position, leaning on one elbow) is also considered to be a significant novelty in the evolution of Latvia's sculpture. The first author of this type is Italian sculptor Andrea Sansovino. His idea was brought by Italian masters to Krakow during the first decade of the 16th century and the bearers of the ideas of counterreformation also brought this arrangement with them to the territory of Latvia.
