House of the Black Heads

About

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.
