A marvel of castle and site, I regret that it cannot be visited or I would greatly appreciate if someone could confirm me when it could be visited. A place that is totally worth it ... I would recommend walking if there are many cars parked in the area.

Nice views of the castle and the mouth of the Nalon river, a medieval market is held at the end of July, very interesting and enjoyable, a pity that it cannot be visited as it is private. At its feet there is a small port, interesting fauna and flora found on its margins.

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
