A
Anna – Poland

The entrance to the House of the Black Heads Museum is a great experience – the richly decorated interior and fascinating history of the brotherhood are impressive from the start. A welcome shot of Latvian balsam adds a local touch and makes the visit even more memorable. Short, interesting, and full of character – definitely worth it!

R
Rosie – United Kingdom

Great tour, very good guide (Arthur), really insightful and funny!

Full description

Wander through centuries in House of the Black Heads! Feel the magic atmosphere of luxurious halls of celebrations, decorated with brilliant chandeliers and a gallery of royal portraits. Explore the mysterious medieval cellars and elaborate historical rooms with a surprising silverware collection.

For the past 700 hundred years, the House of the Black Heads has pleased and enraptured inhabitants and guests of Riga. This is one of the most magnificent buildings in Riga, preserving both the unique historic heritage of the legendary Brotherhood of Black Heads and the history of Riga.

For centuries House of the Black Heads was the cultural epicenter of Riga, gathering the most respectable inhabitants of Riga and their guests, during celebrations organized by the Black Heads and their successors. This building, which is situated in the heart of Old Riga, is the symbol of Riga and among the central premises of representation of Riga – not for nothing also the President of Latvia has chosen House of the Black Heads as his temporary residence for almost four years!
