The House of the Blackheads stands on Riga Town Hall Square with theatrical confidence. Its red brick facade is trimmed with white stone, gilded clocks, and sculpted figures. Inside, polished halls and painted ceilings recall the city’s merchant wealth.Read More

St. Peter's Church rises above Riga Old Town with a dark spire and disciplined brick Gothic lines. Inside, the space feels calm, spare, and vertical, with pale walls drawing the eye upward.
