Jauniela street is perhaps the most famous corner of Old Riga, and house 25/27 is its architectural anchor. Built in 1903 by the renowned architect Wilhelm Bockslaff, this building is a masterful blend of Art Nouveau and Gothic Revival styles. Its facade, with its pointed gables and intricate stone carvings, looks like it was pulled straight from a fairy tale
Movie buffs will recognize this spot immediately. This very building and the street it stands on played the roles of ‘Baker Street’ in the Soviet Sherlock Holmes series and ‘Flower Street’ in ‘Seventeen Moments of Spring’. Its cinematic charm is undeniable, making it a must-visit for anyone with a camera.
