House of the Livonian Noble Corporation
House of the Livonian Noble Corporation, Parliament building in Central District, Riga, Latvia
The House of the Livonian Noble Corporation stands opposite St. James's Cathedral, featuring neo-Renaissance architecture with intricate exterior details and carved stone elements.
Built between 1864 and 1867 for the Landtag of Livonian Noble Corporation, the structure transitioned to house the Latvian Parliament after the country's independence.
The building's facade displays a statue of Lāčplēsis, replacing the original Teutonic Landmeister figure, representing Latvia's transition from German noble influence.
Located at Jēkaba iela 11, the parliament building maintains regular security protocols and requires advance arrangements for guided tours through official channels.
A fire in 1921 led to extensive restoration work by architect Eižens Laube, who preserved the original architectural elements while adapting the interior for parliamentary functions.
