History says that this ancient medieval fortress was built at the request of the Bishop of Albi, during the 13th century. During the 18th century, this episcopal castle, a magnificent place of summer residence for these men of light, was abandoned (quickly) in favor of another place located in Albi. And since nothing is lost, and everything is transformed, these gentlemen will dismantle the monument to build others... And today, the result is there: pretty remains and pretty views!

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.
