Marvellous castle with great view around Bad Neumünster!

Taking a walk from the town up till the castle was pleasant! Inside the castle is a restaurant, cafe and you can visit for free just to see the scenery. The view is incredible, you can see both side of Bad Münster and the rocky mountains behind. And there are the vineyards all over on the hillsides.

Nice place. Small but nice rooms. Unfortunately breakfast not good enough...very small choice of food available.

Very scenic castle and village with a cool winding river. Nice to walk, paddle or ride bicycle around.

Cute little castle to walk around with 360° views of the town below. There is a lot of parking and a resturant on site as well.

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.
