House of Blackheads | Melngalvju nams (Rātslaukums 7)
House of Blackheads. House of Blackheads is one of Riga's most famous landmarks, originally built during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornamentations. The building was destroyed in WW2, 1941 but was rebuilt in 1999. 
Melngalvju nams. Šķiet, Rīgas seja, vismaz tā, ko vislabprātāk rādām citiem, nav iedomājama bez Melngalvju nama - vienas no tām vietām, kur visbiežāk atskan ārzemju tūristu fotoaparātu klikšķi. Tāpēc pat mazliet neparasti apzināties, ka vēl deviņdesmito gadu vidū Melngalvju nama te nemaz nebija - 2. pasaules karā sagrautā celtne tika atjaunota 1999. gadā. Ēka oriģināli celta 14. gadsimta sākumā, Melngalvju brālības (Rīgas neprecēto vācu tirgotāju ģildes) vajadzībām. Liela daļa krāšno ornamentu ēkai tika izveidoti 1580. un 1886. gadā. Ko vācieši uzcēla, paši arī iznīcināja - oriģinālais Melngalvju nams nodega 1941. gadā Vērmahta apšaudes rezultātā. Iespējams, šodien daudzi nemaz nenojauš, ka pašreizējais Melngalvju nams ir uzbūvēts pilnībā no jauna.
