This is the Riga city castle. The oldest parts of the castle were founded in 1330, by the Livonian order of Knights. This castle was founded after the previous fortification of the Livonian order was destroyed in the 13th century. While since then the castle has been destroyed, rebuilt and remodeled over the ages it has historically served as the head of administration for Latvian territories for Livonian order, the Polish-Lithuanian Empire and the Swedish Empire. After the Great Northern War (1700–1721), when Russia defeated Sweden and annexed LV, it housed Riga city gov. During the interwar years (as today), it was home to the President. During the Soviet times it was HQ for the Pioneers.

The castle was founded in 1330. Its structure was thoroughly rebuilt between 1497 and 1515. Upon the castle's seizure by the Swedes, they constructed spacious annexes in 1641.
