Gulbene, called then Gulbana, was initially a castle in the Talava land of the Latgali people. The name comes from "gulbe" ("swan"). After the conquest of Latgale this land was transferred to the archbishop of Riga, which built his castle Schwanenburg in 1340. But Gulbene did not develop to a town and remained only a manor. | Gulbene, called then Gulbana, was initially a castle in the Talava land of the Latgali people. The name comes from "gulbe" ("swan").
