A Glimpse into the Benjamins House
The Benjamins House, located at Krišjāņa Barona Street 12, is one of the architectural jewels of Riga. Built in the late 19th century, the building rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s as the residence of Latvian press magnates Emīlija Benjamiņa and Antons Benjamiņš.
The house’s design reflects the eclectic style of its time – luxurious, artistic, and influenced by European trends. Once a gathering place for the city’s cultural and political elite, the building continues to inspire with its grandeur and history.
