Eerie display of a reconstructed skeleton discovered at the castle. Over 300 Latvians blew themselves up in the castle rather than fall into the hands of the forces of Ivan the Terrible. Others were hung up, strung up, beaten, tortured and far far worse as the exhibit explained. A video showing the room and items recovered.
