Karosta Prison - Latvia, Liepaja Hostel

The Naval Port prison or guardhouse. The building was erected about 1900 and until 1997 it has served as a place where military persons served their terms for breach of discipline. Ever since the first years of its existence it has been a place to break peoples lives and suppress their free will.

With powers changing, its prisoners changed as well. Among them there were revolutionaries, fishers and non-commissioned officers of the tsarist army, deserters from the German Wehrmacht, and enemies of the people in Stalins times, soldiers of both the Soviet army and the Latvian army and other rebels.
Mysterious and inexplicable things are noticed in the guard house rumbling footsteps, self-unscrewing of electrical bulbs, unaccountable opening of closed doors of the cells but the appearance of impossible images has come as the most unpleasant surprise to many a visitor.
