Very pretty

Castle overlooking the village. Free admission. Only two towers and a few pieces of the rampart remain. The interior of the castle is just a field at the end of which you can admire the entire valley from the railing. It can be accessed by car or on foot and in front there is a large picnic area with tables. The entrance is on the side of the chapel. However, it is forbidden to eat on the grass inside the castle. There are toilets in 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.
