Riga Castle, Medieval castle at River Daugava bank, Latvia
The castle exhibits multiple architectural features from different periods, including Early Baroque elements in the bay tower and Art Deco interior decorations.
Founded in 1330, Riga Castle underwent major changes in the 16th century when the current structure was built upon foundations of earlier fortifications.
The castle contains notable painted ceilings in the Hall of Ambassadors and decorative gates created during the artistic period of the 1920s and 1930s.
Visitors can explore representative areas including the Gift Hall, Festival Hall, and Coats of Arms Hall through guided tours with audio guides in multiple languages.
A fire in 2013 affected 3,200 square meters of the castle interior during reconstruction work, yet the museum collections remained largely preserved.
