EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cat House, a stunning example of Art Nouveau architecture, stands proudly in the heart of Old Town, Riga, Latvia. Built in 1909 by Friedrich Scheffel, this historic building is adorned with intricate art nouveau decorations and reliefs that showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of the era. Located at 10 Meistaru Iela, The Cat House holds a special place in Riga's architectural heritage. Its main entrance captivates passersby with its unique design and attention to detail. As one explores the exterior of the building, they are greeted by a fusion of medieval and modern elements that make it truly distinctive. The Cat House was originally commissioned by the Riga Tradesmen's Guild as an act of defiance against their exclusion from the prestigious Great Guild across the street. Legend has it that two cat sculptures were added to face towards their rival guild as a symbol of contempt. Today, The Cat House continues to be an iconic landmark in Riga's cityscape. It serves as a reminder of Latvia's rich history and cultural identity while also showcasing Eastern Europe's contribution to European art and architecture. This print taken by Neil Farrin captures not only the beauty but also the essence of The Cat House. With its vibrant facade against a backdrop of cobblestone streets, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in its charm and discover more about this enchanting Baltic state.
