Ruins of Sēlpils Lutheran Church

Vecsēlpils ("old Sēlpils", formerly Sēlpils; German: Selburg) is a village in Sēlpils parish, Sala municipality, Latvia on the location of the ancient Selonian town of Sēlpils.

The ruins of the ancient Sēlpils Castle were on the left bank of Daugava near Vecsēlpils, but are now on an island since the construction of Pļaviņas Hydroelectric Power Station and reservoir.[1]
