Benjamins House, Neo-Renaissance building at K.Barona Street 12, Riga, Latvia.
The House of Benjamins displays ornate sculptures, including two figures above the entrance and a vestal in an alcove along its decorated facade.
German architects H. Ende and V. Beckmann designed this structure in 1876 for the Pfab merchant family before the Benjamins purchased it in 1928.
From 1945, the building housed the Union of Writers, Composers, and Artists, organizing literary events and supporting creative expression during the Soviet period.
The building now operates as Europa Royale Hotel, offering accommodation in restored rooms that maintain their nineteenth-century architectural features.
The interior contains seven decorated rooms with glassworks by K. Brencens, including pieces titled Palace of Light and Lacplesis.
