Two restored wooden buildings in the Grīziņkalns neighbourhood make up the Wooden Riga restoration centre, which is part community hub and part museum. Enter the landscaped courtyard to visit the main hall, which is also a conference room and exhibition hall that displays some excellent examples of wooden architecture throughout Latvia via photos and artefacts including a two-storey section of a wooden façade. Next door you’ll find a number of apartments restored to how they would have looked during the tsarist, Soviet and pre-WWII eras of Latvian history. Open by appointment only for up to 4 people at a time.
