A pretty pretty place that offers 3-4 parking spaces, right on the route to Stromberg and the old castle ruins. I also liked the good seating with a table, which offers space for at least 8 people. Not a view worth mentioning, but a wastepaper basket. I of value. To take a break, perfect!

A small ruined castle that is easy to explore and climb on foot. Great view over the surrounding valley.

Beautiful little castle ruins, but as others have already written, you could make more of it. I especially liked the many different plants and herbs that grow wild around the castle.

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.
