Three Brothers House, Riga, Latvia
Riga (Latvian: Rīga), the capital of Latvia, is situated on the Baltic Sea coast on the mouth of the river Daugava. Riga is the largest city in the Baltic states. The Historic Centre of Riga has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city is particularly notable for its extensive Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) architecture, which UNESCO considers to be unparalleled anywhere in the world.
Three magnificent examples of medieval domestic architecture in Riga are the Three Brothers. The oldest is the White Brother and, dating from the 15th century, it has the typical characteristics of Latvian medieval architecture.
The middle Yellow Brother was built in 1646 and the Green Brother is just a youngster, constructed in the 18th century. The Latvian Museum of Architecture is in the White Brother and has thousands of original drawings and plans.
