Vanadziņš House got its name during the first period of independence, when the 18th-century wooden architectural gem was managed by Dr. Kārlis Vanadziņš, who was also the town’s head from 1922 to 1933. During the war, Vanadziņš emigrated to Sweden, but the residents of Cēsis continued to refer to the building at 15 Rīgas Street as Vanadziņš House. Over time, the house fell into disrepair and was demolished, leaving only the entrance steps. Vanadziņš House experienced a revival thanks to three enthusiasts, the co-owners of the furniture company Wenden Furniture. From just a few steps, it was reborn as an architectural monument of national significance, now hosting a restaurant and apartments.
