It is the easternmost point of Latvia[2] and the easternmost point of the contiguous part of the Baltic states.

[1] Although Pasiene is a small village, it is known for its Baroque-style Roman Catholic church dating from 1761.

There also used to be a Dominican abbey in Pasiene, close to the church, but it burnt down in 1837.
