After Easter we spent a few days in the “Schloss 4” holiday home. A great holiday home with a rustic castle atmosphere. The house offers everything you need for a relaxing family vacation: a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove, a small playroom with books and board games, a nice, spacious bathroom and enough comfortable beds even for larger families. And very important: fast WiFi available throughout the house. There is enough space for children to run around in the enclosed castle courtyard. There are many family-friendly excursion options available in the region. For families interested in technology, we can highly recommend the family tour of the Audi factory in nearby Ingolstadt. We really liked it at Nassenfeld Castle! Gladly again.

Great castle complex not open to the public. There are two holiday homes in the castle that can be rented. These are able to be recommended for a relaxing holiday.

Just an impressive, powerful place.

It is the ideal location for events such as the annual culture days or the pre-Christmas market. In a historic castle courtyard without annoying traffic, what could be nicer?

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.
