Three Brothers, Gothic building complex in Old Town, Riga, Latvia
The Three Brothers consists of three connected houses, each displaying different architectural features from Gothic to Baroque and Classical periods.
Dating from 1470, the oldest structure exhibits Gothic elements with a narrow facade, while subsequent buildings were added in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The complex houses the Latvian Museum of Architecture, presenting exhibitions about regional construction methods and architectural development through centuries.
Located at Maza Pils Street 17, 19, and 21, the buildings remain accessible for exterior viewing throughout the day without entrance fees.
Each building maintains distinct color schemes - green, yellow, and white - reflecting the individual characteristics of different construction periods.
