About Relais Le Chevalier

The interior is the work of French and Italian designers, and the name, which literary means “Knight's Inn”, brings us back to the mysterious medieval France. Our hotel is located in one of the most famous buildings of Old Riga at 20 Kalku Street. Here in the middle of the 17th century a German physician and biologist Benjamin Fischer founded a pharmacy, which, thanks to the patronage of Fischer's older brother, who held a high position at court, attained a Royal status. The image of a lion on the facade relief of the building is a symbol of special support from King Charles XI.
