Dubinskis pond in Cesis is a historically and hydrologically significant object that today serves as an artificially created body of water. It is one of the few remaining monuments of the former Dubinskis estate complex. The pond was created as a mill lake on the Dubinsky estate and its energy was used to process leather, an important economic process at the time.
The pond has a flow-through hydrological regime and is the outlet of the Pirtsupīte, which later flows into the Siļķupīte, a tributary of the Gauja. Only this pond has survived from the entire estate complex, and it is not only a natural object, but also a historical witness to the times when water power was an important part of industrial activity.
Dubinsky pond is a valuable example of how man-made infrastructure and natural forces combine to ensure vitality and sustainable development, as well as shaping the landscape and history of a city.
