The. Castle and the view is beautiful, the castle park is very small, we didn't dare to look inside because there are many companies in it, but the walk to the castle was nice.

Charming chateau, beautiful bright rooms. Various business premises eg. Hairdresser, beauty room, costume tailor, artist, antiques...etc. The BnB is worth an overnight stay. The view is so beautiful and wide. Just great. Yesterday and today there were still market stands, yodelling with fine sausages, yodelling, castle coffee shop, balloon artists and various attractions. Just great. Absolutely again. Thank you for these beautiful moments.

+Nice castle with a nice courtyard and beautiful surroundings! +Free parking directly at the entrance +Friendly people +Lift, toilets, self-service drinks/coffee corner Was there for a course, Perfect experience! - Google Maps does not understand the end of the journey. Leads to a dead end and then wants you to hop over the creek and climb up the castle wall! ? Finally, follow the signs to SchlafSchloss ?

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.
