![Maternity hospital in 1897.](https://worldviewstream.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/465390_900-897x600.jpg)
The first and only maternity hospital in Ligatna was built in 1897 at the expense of Wilhelm Mentzendorf. Wilhelm Metzendorf was a shareholder in a paper mill in Ligatne.
The maternity hospital was quite small, 6 mothers with children could be there at the same time.
There was an interesting tradition here, if a boy was born, then a blue flag was hung out, and if a girl, then a red one.
Now the building is for sale.
