At 17, 19 and 21 Mazā Pils Street stand the oldest complex of houses in Riga, dating from the 15th century. The oldest facade is no. 17, which has a mix of Gothic and Renaissance in its crow-stepped gable and the pointed arch on its doorway. Painted pale yellow, No. 19 dates to the middle of the 17th century and blends Renaissance with Dutch Mannerist design. The distinguished Classical portal here is newer and was built in 1746. This building houses the Latvian Architecture Museum if you’re curious. Lastly, the slender no. 21 is a Baroque dwelling from the end of the 17th century, with a flowing curved gable.

The oldest complex of dwelling houses in Riga was constructed in the 15th century. Their name — Three Brothers, was given a very long time ago and, according to a legend, the buildings were constructed by men from one family. Today, the premises house the Latvian Museum of Architecture and the State Inspection for Heritage Protection.

These three houses constitute the oldest remaining housing complex in Latvia. The one on the right, with the step-like shape of the roof, is the oldest and dates to the 1400s. The one next to that, dates from the 1600s and the one of the very left is dated from the 1600s but was reconstructed in the 1800s (including the style of the time. So in essence these three buildings serve as a cross-section of the architectural history of Riga form 1400-1800.
