Google Maps I would love it if I had visited the place. The place cannot be visited. It is on private property. Entering is prohibited.

Very interesting moated castle ruins with two separate islands. The moat is still completely preserved. The remains of the wall, corner towers and the ruins of the former main building tower high. As far as I know, the facility is privately owned

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.
