Exhibitions

In autumn 2024, the Latvian National Museum of History opens the restored rooms of the castle for viewing. These spaces have preserved their original medieval appearance while featuring architectural and interior elements from various later periods. After first phases of the reconstruction project, 4,400 square metres of the castle are open to the public: the vaulted cellar, the refectory (dining hall), the chapel, the four-storey high Lead Tower, the attic and other rooms.

A route of 19 sites, each with a story about the history and architecture of the castle, available in written and audio guide format, help the visitors explore Riga Castle. The achievements of the research and restoration process will be displayed in the pop up exhibition “Lost and Found” and reflected on the information stands with photos of the sites before and during the reconstruction.
