Jugendstil in Old Riga

Old Riga is full of mysteries and mysteries, its history is the history of all Riga. Over the centuries, the appearance of the city was formed, each historical era left its mark in it in the form of different architectural styles. The Middle Ages and Modernity meet here. Special charm gives Old Riga - Art Nouveau style. Beautiful buildings in this style not only adorn the Old Town, but also add romantic beauty to its medieval gray hair.

During the tour, you will find out where one of the first houses built in the Art Nouveau style is located, you will see a house with a dog - the "protector of the house"; a house with the figures of three Atlanteans who hold the globe on their shoulders; a "cat house"; a house with the most beautiful image of a woman in the architecture of Riga Art Nouveau; a house with a chimney sweep sitting on a roof skate; Juliet's house. Beautiful creations were left to us by the famous architects of that time: G. Sheel, F. Sheffel, P. Mandelstam, V. Neumann, K. Pekshen, V. Boxlaf and others.

I invite you to enjoy the unique view of their work and hear a story about the most important historical buildings of the Art Nouveau era.
