Interesting story. The Nobleman's Guild house was exclusively only for noblemen and across was the house for the Craftman's Guild. A very rich craftman wanted to be included inthe Nobleman's Guild. The Nobleman's guild told him that in order to be part of their guild, he has to build a big house in the old town. He did build a... More

house, history of the house is quite funny. I did not noticed if there was any sing that told about the house, you must read it somewhere else.

Besides the lovely cat on the roof, this building hosts a fantastic restaurant as well! Interesting menu, honest serious cooking, had "minogi" fish in light aspic ----- yammy!!! Local beer, superb quality steak, great presentation and fair price, really good place.

Just like many houses in the Old Town Riga, but it has a cat on it's roof-top and it also has a story to it

There are several unique buildings to enjoy as you walk through the old town. This is definitely one that you should add to your tour.

The slow cooked pork here was fantastic really tender and so flavor some! the staff really know how to look after you and the view of the square at night was lovely.

Well, we walked all the way there in the rain and i am not sure what the big thing was, but maybe you will see it in a different way to me ??? ;)

I took some good pictures at it, from among the branches of trees. It is located in the main square of the city and looks above a little cafè and souvenirs places.

Interesting visit to the cat house (spooked black cat sitting on the roof). The legend says that the owner was rejected from the local Merchant's Guild across the street and decided to place the cat facing the Merchant's Guild as revenge.
