Very sad day for Riga.

[Citizen]

Rigas Castle is burning, hope the fire department will be able to contain it and it will be possible to restore what is damaged.

How did it start?

[Graham]

No! Hope some luck prevails. If not Latvians will need to dig into their pockets, to get it good again.

[Alenka]

Sorry to hear that..

I hope damage won't be severe and that nobody get's hurt

[Styggnacke]

I truly hope they manage to stop it soon.

[Anatolian Eagle]

Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets restorated soon and more importantly hopefully there are no human casaulties. Reminds me of the fire on roof of a historical train station here in 2010.

Hop there is nothing invaluable inside, like a Museum or historic paintings.

There is some sort of museum inside it, if I remember correctly.

I read up it has the National museum. That is a tragedy. The castle can be rebuilt, whilst historical items can't.
