Located in the heard of the Old Town, overlooking the Livu square, The Cat House (in Latvian: Kaķu nams) and built in 1909 according to the blueprint of architect Friedrich Scheffel.

The building is styled as medieval architecture with some elements of Art Nouveau. It is known for the two cat sculptures, with arched backs and raised tails, on its roof. According the legend, the owner of the house wanted the cats to be placed with their tails turned towards the house of the Great Guild, which is nearby, as he held a grudge against its members. It was later ordered that the cats should be turned so as to face the guildhouse.

There is a cozy restaurant on the ground floor of the building holding the same name.
