Description:
The Cat House in Riga, Latvia. One of the most popular buildings in the old town, with an interesting story: the Latvian owner of the building was excluded from the powerful Big Guild across the road - so he ordered the cats to be turned around, as an insult to his enemies. (He was eventually admitted to the Guild, and the cats were turned back)
