Kontemplativ, insbesondere in den Morgenstunden, wenn die Menschenmassen, die Abgründe der Stromberger Burg noch nicht frequentieren. Die Umgebung der Mauer gilt es lohnenswert für Jedermann in der Region und darüber hinaus zu erkunden. Es lohnt sich in jedem Fall...

Used as a parking lot to start a bike tour from there. Good location. Directly at the A2 Oelde exit.

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.
