Discover Indrāni through the literary legacy of Broņislava Martuzeva and the landscape of Indrānu pagasts. The Broņislava Martuzeva Poetry Barn is in Indrāni itself; the pagasts also features a very flat plain, extensive moorland and animals in Rozas. This gives you different options when planning your trip: culture and art, or landscape and animals.

Poetry, Stone and Remembrance

The Broņislava Martuzeva Poetry Barn is located in Indrāni at Dārziņi 1. It can be visited on a guided tour; visits are possible by prior arrangement. If you would like to include this place in your plans, be sure to arrange your visit in advance.

“Broņislava’s Written Stones” is an open-air stone garden created by sculptor Ģirts Burvis. Several monumental boulder compositions draw inspiration from the poet’s life and poetry. Here, you encounter Martuzeva’s work not as an exhibition of texts, but through designs made with large stones. The Spoguļvirsmas slēptuve, in turn, is dedicated to the resistance movement. These three connections—poetry, visual art and remembrance—offer different ways to explore Indrāni’s cultural heritage.

Events with Different Emphases

The Broņislava Poetry Day has been held in the garden of the Martuzeva Poetry Barn for the eighth time. One Poetry Day programme included live performances of songs by Broņislava Martuzeva and Jānis Lūsēns, accompanied by instruments. The exhibition “Uzglezno Martuževas dzejoli” by the artists’ group from Lubāna will also be on display at the 2026 event. It translates motifs and values from Martuzeva’s works into the language of visual art.

The music and exhibition offer different emphases: the live performances centre on the presentation of songs, while the exhibition translates motifs and values into visual forms. If you are travelling specifically for an event, check its exact dates. The exhibition mentioned is explicitly part of the 2026 edition.

Flat Plain, Moorland and River Landscape

Indrānu pagasts lies in the Lubāna Plain, in the lowlands of eastern Latvia. Its terrain is very flat, and large areas are covered by moors. This describes a broad landscape, not just a single viewpoint. By contrast, a specific location is given for the Poetry and Song Day venue: it is in a scenic spot where the Liede and Aiviekste rivers meet. The plain and moorland characterise the pagasts, while the river junction pinpoints the event venue.

Animals in Rozas

Ostriches, Australian emus, South American rheas, peacocks and pheasants are on display in Rozas in Indrānu pagasts. The collection also includes Indian runner ducks, pigeons, chickens, turkeys, geese and domestic animals. The variety thus ranges from large flightless birds to poultry and domestic animals. This collection of animals is a distinct attraction alongside Martuzeva’s literary legacy and the moorland landscape.

Choose a Focus for Your Stay

When looking for a holiday apartment, you could first consider which aspect of Indrāni matters most for your trip: Martuzeva’s poetry and its artistic connections, or the landscape of the pagasts and the animals in Rozas. If you are interested in an event, plan around its dates; the exhibition “Uzglezno Martuževas dzejoli” is tied to the 2026 event.
