Couldn't access the closed ruins, but nice walk and very beautiful views.

It is off limits but the municipality would do better to fix it up as it certainly has potential value for tourism in Waulsort (Hastiere). You have to claw a bit to get there.

No longer accessible, has become part of a closed nature reserve. But unclearly closed and due to erosion the descent there to the Meuse has become very steep and dangerous.

Not that hard to find with a little creativity. Unfortunately, access to the site is no longer allowed.

Amazing area for walks and views but wouldn't go just to see the ruins.

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.
