Although the day was rainy and we couldn't go inside, this construction from the highway caught our attention and we decided to take a detour. Picturesque construction that we found very beautiful.

To visit during the summer period. The relics and reliquaries grouped in the crypt are to be seen. Congratulations to the association that allows these visits

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.
