What's included

Admission to the House of the Black Heads

Important information

No lockers available.
  • Let your mind run wild on this tour, as you ponder the events that were organized by the Brotherhood of Black Heads
  • See the work of artisans and antique restorers, replicas of 19th-century chairs and sofas, weaponry, portraits of nobility, and a medieval cellar
  • Look at the opulent decorations, ceiling frescoes, luxurious furnishing, and shining armor – sans the knights!

Stained glass windows, an underground hang-out spot, sweeping red carpets, crystal chandeliers, and a confrontational amount of blackamoor art – it's a revealing look at 14th-century frat life at the House of the Black Heads.

Initially built in 1334, the house was used by the Brotherhood of Black Heads, a fraternity for unwed merchants, shipowners, and foreigners. Bombed in 1941 and then leveled by the Soviets seven years later, the house was rebuilt in 1999. Explore it and relive the past.
