context_page_description: The culture of Latvia combines traditional Latvian and Livonian heritage with influences of the country's varied historical heritage.
context_section_description: A form of traditional architecture in Latvia is log houses. The position of houses differs among regions. In western Latvia, single farms are more popular and in villages, the houses are positioned in a circle around a central square. In eastern Latvia, villages are more popular and houses are positioned along the main street. This is seen as an influence of nearby Russia.
