History


During the Russian Empire period, the Saint Petersburg–Warsaw railway line was built nearby the village in 1860.[2]

Towards the end of 19th century, pottery craft was common in Šembeļi.[3] In 1896, there was born the famous Latgalian ceramicist Andrejs Paulāns, who was awarded with a Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1937.[4] He continued to work in his workshop in Šembeļi until his death in 1973.[5]
