Terrific Tallinn and the Brotherhood of blackheads
Het Huis van het Broederschap der Zwarthoofden is een van de weinig bewaard gebleven gebouwen uit de renaissance in Tallinn. Het broederschap ontstond in 1399 en bond jonge, vrijgezelle handelaren en eigenaren van schepen voordat ze werden geaccepteerd door het grote gilde. Ook buitenlandse handelaren die niet permanent in Tallinn verbleven konden zich aansluiten. De naam is afkomstig van hun patroon, de zwarte Sint Mauritius, een vroege christelijke martelaar die rond 300 in Zwitserland stierf. Zijn hoofd is de mascotte van het wapen van de broederschap. In 1940 verlieten de laatste leden van het Broederschap der Zwarthoofden Tallinn. De eerste bewijzen van het bestaan van het gebouw dateren uit de 14e eeuw. In de eerste helft van de 16e eeuw kochten de Zwarthoofden het pand en bouwden een nieuwe hal met een boogloos plafond. Rond 1597 volgde een nieuwe, ingrijpende verbouwing. Toen werd de voorgevel in Nederlandse renaissance-stijl gebouwd, met veel schitterende versieringen. De voordeur, één van Tallin’s meest aansprekende deuren, stamt uit 1640.
Het Zwarthoofdenhuis (Mustpeade maja) is een gebouw in de oude binnenstad van de Estse hoofdstad Tallinn. De oudste fundamenten van het huis dateren waarschijnlijk uit de 14e eeuw. Het huis werd in 1517 door de aangekocht door het broederschap van de Zwarthoofden, een gilde van schepenbouwers die actief waren in Lijfland (Litouwen). In 1597 werd het gebouw gerenoveerd in Nederlandse renaissance-stijl onder leiding van architect Arent Passer. Boven de deur staat een sculptuur van Sint Mauritius, de patroonheilige van het broederschap. Tegenwoordig word het huis voor evenementen en concerten gebruikt.

Tallinn , the capital of Estonia, lies on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, only 70 km (43 mi) south of Helsinki. At the historical and medieval heart of the city is the hill of Toompea, covered in cobbled streets and filled with medieval houses and alleyways. The lower town spreads out from the foot of the hill, still protected by the remnants of a city wall. Around the city wall is a series of well-maintained green parks, great for strolling.
The city's old town has been astonishingly well preserved and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997, it is now in better shape than ever, with the bigger roads converted into fashionable shopping streets reminiscent of Zürich or Geneva. Especially in summer, the Old Town is packed with tourists, with the traditional daytrippers from Helsinki increasingly supplemented by other Europeans taking advantage of cheap flights.
Alas, the new town sprawling all around is largely built in typical concrete Soviet style, now joined with glass-and-steel cubes celebrating the post-Soviet economic boom. The new centre of town is Vabaduse väljak (Freedom Square) at the edge of the old town, and nearby is the giant matchbox of Hotel Viru.
Tallinn is a historic city dating back to the medieval times and it was first recorded on a world map in 1154, although the first fortress was built on Toompea in 1050. In 1219, the city was conquered by Valdemar II of Denmark, but it was soon sold to the Hanseatic League in 1285. The city, known as Reval at the time, prospered as a trading town in the 14th century, and much of Tallinn's historic center was built at this time.
The Old City is best navigated on foot. A network of buses, trams and trolleybuses covers the rest of the city. There is an abundance of relatively cheap taxis. Before you jump in a random taxi car make sure you check the price on the window of the car. In Tallinn there are more than 20 different taxi companies and some can be a rip-off.
If you are on a day trip to Tallinn for few hours only, then you can walk down to Viru street (10-15 min walk from Ferry Terminal) or take a taxi to get there and then roam the old city on foot. There are some great lookout points, where you can take in spectacular views of the rest of Old Town.
The Old City is packed with restaurants claiming to offer authentic Estonian food, particularly on and around Raekoja plats. Prices at restaurants near the Raekoja Plats are generally more expensive, yet offer the same quality of food, as restaurants off this main square. Prices are steep by Estonian standards, but still much cheaper than neighbouring Helsinki, which explains why on weekends they're always packed with day tripping Finns.
The new neighborhoods on the rise are Kalamaja and Kopli. Here you can find quite a lot of trendy restaurants opened up in old factories and such. There are no touristy restaurants or party pubs but nice, affordable restaurants popular among local people.
Tallinn's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a major tourist attraction; others include the Seaplane Harbour of Estonian Maritime Museum, the Tallinn Zoo, Kadriorg Park, and the Estonian Open Air Museum. Most of the visitors come from Europe, though Tallinn has also become increasingly visited by tourists from Russia and the Asia-Pacific region

The House of the Blackheads.wmv
Come join TheCeļotājs visit to the outside area of the House of the Blackheads located at Rātslaukums 6 Townhall Square.
This important centre for public life, which was first mentioned by sources in 1334 as the New House of the Large Guild, is located near the Rātslaukums Town Hall Square. The building was erected by the city itself, and originally it was rented to the merchants of the Large Guild and the unmarried merchants, the Brotherhood of Blackheads, who later, in 1713, purchased the building and became its proprietors.
The Blackheads was characteristically a common union of young, unmarried merchants and ship captains in the Hansa cities, which chose Saint Maurice to be their patron. Saint Mauritius was an imaginary African black moor from this the name of the brotherhood the Blackheads comes. Due to their exceptional status the Blackheads played an important role in the society life and traditions; many VIPs of that time including Russian tsars took part in events organized by the Blackheads. As a German merchant club the Brotherhood of Blackheads existed in Riga until 1939.
The House of Blackheads was reconstructed and expanded for a number of times, however both pediments have been preserved many elements from the first and the 15th century's periods. The entire second floor was built as a celebration hall. The biggest changes to the architecture of the house were made at the end of 18th century, when a new two-storey wing was added to the building. In 1816 one more wing was added to it. The addition was made to the wall on the side of the Daugava River. The open stairs, which lead directly into the hall on the second floor, were covered with oblong canopy. The last significant changes to the façade's pediments were made in 1886, when all the gothic pediments had new additional profiles of concrete casting worked in. The celebration hall was also upgraded and adorned during renovations and expansions. The adornment of 6.68 m high hall was exceedingly extravagant.
The long-standing and posh cultural monument was destroyed during World War II in 1941. Due to an explosion the slate covered roof was torn off revealing the wooden constructions beneath, which were destroyed by the fires of burning houses nearby.
During the Soviet occupation in 1948 the burned out walls were blown up. After the Republic of Latvia regained its independence, the restoration of the House of Blackheads started, which was completed in 2000.

시청사 광장 앞에는 리가 시를 상징하는 대표적인 건축물이 자리하고 있다. 검은머리 전당이라 불리는 이 건물은 중세 길드 상인들이 회의와 숙소용으로 만든 것이란다. “저 조각상 옆으로 적혀있는 문구에서 보듯이 당시 무역 상인들은 부유한 독일 사람들이었어요. 당시 강성했던 한자동맹 도시였던 리가, 브레멘, 뤼베크, 함부르크 네 도시의 문장을 볼 수 있어요.” 당시 이곳의 길드 상인들은 이집트 출신의 성 모리셔스를 존경해 그의 형상을 문양으로 사용했다고 한다. 이것이 검은머리 전당이라는 이름의 유래가 됐다. 검은머리 전당 앞 광장에는 크리스마스트리의 기원이 됐다는 장소가 표시돼 있다. 1510년 길드 상인들이 이곳에 트리를 세우고 크리스마스를 보냈다고 전해진다.

Ryga. Dom Czarnogłowych. Riga - House of the Blackheads.
House of the Blackheads (Latvian: Melngalvju nams, German: Schwarzhäupterhaus) is a building situated in the old town of Riga, Latvia. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried merchants, shipowners, and foreigners in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornamentations. The sculptures were made by the workshop of August Volz.
The building was bombed to a ruin by the Germans on June 28, 1941 and the remains were demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999 by Valērijs Kargins, the president of Parex Bank.
