Today, the black cats sculpted on the roof of this Art Nouveau building are the symbol of Rīga. More than a century ago, the Latvian owner of this house was expelled from the powerful Grand Guild by a chauvinistic German. In revenge, the merchant ordered that the cats above his house be turned towards the Grand Guild to present their hindquarters. After a long battle, the merchant was finally reinstated into the Guild, and as a gesture of forgiveness, the black cats were returned to their original position.
