St. Martin Luther Church in Riga: photos, reviews

About

The Church of Saint Martin Luther did not appear in Riga by chance. Back in the eighteenth century, the local residents did not have their own parish where they could take a break from worldly affairs and pray. It was then that the idea of building a spacious church, funding it from the budget, came about.

To appear does not mean it was built. Surprisingly, the church took its rightful place among Latvia's significant cultural monuments only a century later. Right after the architectural project was approved, not only was the Church of Saint Martin Luther built, but the surrounding area was also planted with trees, and every square meter of the adjoining land was meticulously improved. The exterior of the church turned out to be quite simple and succinct - a red brick facade, a single tower, and several balconies built into the building with traditional choirs.

★★★★★ Dziedāt Rīgas Evaņģēliski luteriskajā baznīcā bija patiesi īpaša pieredze. Akustika šajā dievnamā ir vienkārši sapņaina – katra skaņa piepilda telpu ar siltumu un skanīgumu. Mēs piedzīvojām neaizmirstamu kopīgu koncertu kopā ar latviešu kori un mūsu kori no Travemindes. Viss notika sirsnīgā un pacilātā gaisotnē, un koris skanēja ļoti skaisti. Mācītājs bija ļoti jauks un viesmīlīgs, un mēs jutāmies sirsnīgi uzņemti. Īpaši augstu vērtējam sadraudzību un partnerību starp Travemindi un Rīgu – tā ir patiesa tilta veidošana starp cilvēkiem un kultūrām. Šī pieredze paliks atmiņā uz ilgu laiku. Sirsnīgs paldies!

Рижская церковь Святого Мартина является евангелическо-лютеранской, которая была построена в 1852 г. и принадлежит Латвийской евангелическо-лютеранской церкви. Расположенная в районе Дзирциема, является самой старой церковью в Пардаугаве. Построена она в виде зала со встроенными эмпорами (лестницами, балконами) и фасадами из красного кирпича в романском стиле с элементами эклектики.
