The stone is engraved with the Plater family coat of arms and the year “1729.” In that year, Count Jan Ludvig Plater purchased the Krāslava estate. The stone is named the “August Stone” in honor of King Augustus II of Poland, who visited Krāslava in 1729. The stone also served as a town boundary marker.
