In mid-August we will celebrate THE festival of Sakstagala village and F. Trassa museum “Colnasate”.

440 years ago, Sakstagals was first mentioned in history sources – when on 28 July 1582 the Polish king of Poland transferred 3 farm families from Sakstagala to the German noble Diderham Herring. From that time, many generations have changed in Sakstagala, but the populated site has developed into a parish administrative centre, where a parish was formed on 19 February 1897, which originally belonged to the Rēzekne District, but is now the parish of the Rēzekne municipality OF Dricānu.

His recognition OF Sakstagals was given by Trassu's family, especially Francim Tradog, Catholic clerk, politician, cultural and social worker, who particularly cared for Latgale and Latgalians, while encouraging education and sharing a common road with Baltic Latvians (vivids and Kurzeme). MR Tradog is the only Catholic priest who has been a museum dedicated to him for 30 years in his hometown home IN Colnasat.

During the event, the exhibition “Sakstagala village in the contemporary era” will be revealed, which uses museum stock materials and historian early poems on Signagala. We'll present the box set “F.
