The bastion is very well preserved. In the 70s, a shooting range was located on the territory of the bastion. Now it houses a small museum, a coffee shop and an art workshop for the Homlins. I recommend visiting

Неплохо сохранившаяся крепость/бастион. Для посещения был доступен только внутренний двор, тк все остальное сдается в аренду двум организациям. Но и его хватило что бы составить хорошее впечатление о этом месте. Вся красота кроется в деталях, своды, двери, ворота, металические/чугунные круговые лесницы, окружающая природа. Прогуливаясь вокруг крепости ненароком представляешь осаду этого бастиона, пытаясь понять что происходит внутри и снаружи, в стане обораняющих и стане врага.

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.
