## About

Saldus is a town in western Latvia, in the historical region of Courland. It is closely associated with the painter Janis Rozentāls, whose former home is now a museum.

Frauembourg is an older French exonym, not the German spelling Frauenburg. Do not confuse this Courland town with Frombork in Poland. Reference pages checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saldus ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saldus.
