L'AUBERGE DE MADAME HOYER - HOYERES NAMS

Built in the ^17th century by Dutchmen David and Margarethe Hoyer, this is the oldest house in Liepāja. Widowed, Mrs. Hoyer opened an inn to earn her living, even welcoming Tsar Peter the Great. After meticulous restoration, the house is now a museum. On the first floor, the inn and private areas of Mrs. Hoyer and her family have been recreated, with a restaurant serving the cuisine of the period. The upstairs, which was occupied by notary Christoph Wilhelm Stender in the ^19th century, has been furnished to resemble a bourgeois interior of the period.
