Introduction
In the old town of Riga, leaning against the Cathedral Square, the Three Brothers houses are a group of buildings that exemplify distinct architectural styles, representing the medieval building styles of different periods in Riga. It is one of the most complete stone buildings preserved in Riga. The way the Riga people used the small land space has left a vivid impression through these three buildings. Similar to Prague's Golden Lane, this group of buildings showcases an interesting aspect of medieval city planning. The name of Three Brothers houses corresponds to the "Three Sisters houses" in the Estonian capital Tallinn, adding more historical and cultural connotations. Today, the Three Brothers houses have become a place open to the public for the Riga Art Museum. Address Mazā Castle Street 17/19/21, Riga
