Pārdomas par Rīgas būvvēsturi 16. - 17. gadsimtā: Rutgera Nīderhofa sarakste ar karaļa tiesu Stokholmā
Reflections on Riga Construction History in the 16th - 17th Century: Rutger Niederhoff's Correspondence with the Royal Court in Stockholm

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the document held by State Archive in Stockholm - a letter by Riga manufature owner Rutger Niederhoff to Royal Court in Stockholm from the early 1650s, appealing for a just resolution of his lasting conflict with Riga Town Council. The Council fined Niederhoff for a seemingly illegal building on the old fortification wall. The article compares the facts of the mid-17th century with the present situation on the corresponding building plot in Old Riga; copy of the correspondence in German, as well as Latvian translation, is added to the publication.
