Āgenskalns, Riga

A very picturesque historical part of Pārdaugava, in the 19th century it was a district for mansions and manors, some of which still remain (although bereft of any grounds), and some were replaced by slightly newer early 20th century residential architecture of wealthy middle and upper class.

Many embassies were located there pre-WWII.
