Dannenstern House, Baroque residence in Central District, Latvia

The Dannenstern House exhibits Corinthian limestone pilasters across its facade and features two entrance portals created by sculptor D. Walter.

German architect Rupert Bindenschu designed this residential structure in 1696 for Ernst Metsue von Dannenstern, a merchant who sponsored its construction.

The building represents the architectural preferences of wealthy merchants in late 17th century Riga through its incorporation of Baroque design elements.

Located on Mārstaļu Street within the Old Town of Riga, the Dannenstern House stands as part of a larger residential building complex.

The structure contains fragments of an earlier medieval building integrated into its construction, preserving multiple layers of architectural history.
