Kurzemes Street (Tukums)


The street gained its appearance during the 60ties and 70ties of the 20th century, when after private homes were dismantled, the modern (according to the standards of the time) multi-storey apartment buildings were constructed. However, only some local residents still remember or know that it got its current name only about 20 years ago. During the Soviet era, it was the Pioneer (Pionieru) Street, and even before, there was a slaughter house situated on this street, hence the name – the Slaughter House (Kautuves) Street.
