Mencendorfa house, Merchant house museum in Old Town, Riga, Latvia.
The four-story Mencendorfa house exhibits restored wall paintings, period furniture, and architectural elements from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Built in 1695, the residence belonged to Baltic German merchants until 1939, with August Mentzendorff as the final owner importing coffee and chocolate.
The museum rooms include a kitchen with mantel chimney, salon, ballroom, family chapel, and merchant shop, presenting the daily life of rich Riga inhabitants.
Located at Grecinieku Street 18, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
The building maintains its historical glass-making tradition through an operating workshop where visitors can observe artisans and participate in tile painting sessions.
