Kapsēde Giant Stone

Medzes pagasts, Dienvidkurzemes novads

The Kapsēde Giant Stone is the tallest boulder in Latvia, standing at 4.3 meters high. Its circumference is 16.5 meters, and it weighs 160 tons. The stone is a protected natural monument. There are several legends associated with this rock.

One legend tells that the Devil stole the stone from the Castle of Thunder (Pērkona pils). When Thunder (Pērkons) noticed the stone was missing, he set out to find the Devil. Upon finding him, Thunder, in his anger, split the stone into three parts with a lightning strike.
