黑頭宮是拉脫維亞首都里加的建築瑰寶之一,建於1344年。它於1941年被毀,其遺跡在1948年被蘇軍徹底拆除,但最終在1990年代末從灰燼中復活。

這是一幢亮麗的哥德式建築,帶有荷蘭文藝復興時期的門面,當時用來安置單身商行會成員,他們也是臭名昭著的狂歡者。

One of Riga’s architectural treasures, the House of Blackheads in the capital of Latvia was erected in 1344. It was destroyed in 1941 and its ruins were completely demolished by the Soviets in 1948, but it finally rose from the ashes in the late 1990s.

A striking Gothic building with a Dutch Renaissance facade, it was used to house single members of the merchants’ guild who were also notorious revellers of their day.

St Peter’s Church is in the background.
