In awe of its magnificent baroque façade of three parts with the statue of Madonna and Child above the door, even before I went inside! This of course the very first Baroque Church built in Bordeaux, completed in 1620! What's really intriguing is how the inside completely different from the outside. It's more of a "barrel" form with exquisite frescoes ornamented ceiling and a main altar with Corinthian columns supporting a stunning circular pediment. A registered national monument and a treasure for any visitors. I absolutely admire this Baroque Church.

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.
