The Vidzeme Market in its present form was opened in 1902 to not only sell but also display, among other edible and inedible objects, carrots from all over Latvia, or at least Vidzeme. The two pavilions designed by Reinhold Schmeling were the first of their kind in Latvia. Whatever has happened to them up to now – and a great deal has happened – they are now almost empty and are being prepared to display some extraordinary objects once again.
