Rimašiai is an ethnographic, 26-homestead linear settlement, located on the left bank of the Gauja river. Most of the homesteads were built in the end of XIX century - beginning of XX century. Rimašiai have been mentioned since 1744. The XVIII century document state that the village consisted of 7 valakai (land measuring unit), which were divided into hree fields, and these into pieces and the pieces into cuts. Each cut had its own name - Dvarna, Plačiosios, Kamša and others. This helped to focus on multi cut distributed fields.

The homesteads were given the southern side of the territory, as there was a viscous wamp in the north. Due to the natural conditions, a typical one-sided linear village was formed, the street were paved with stones. It is an local significance architectural monument.
