About

Located in a tranquil street of Riga, the Riga Old Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Gertrude stands as an impressive example of Gothic Revival architecture designed by Johann Felsko. Since its opening in 1864, this red-brick marvel, adorned with pointed arches and a towering spire, has been a significant landmark. Its stunning stained-glass windows cast an ethereal glow inside, augmenting the church's serene and calming atmosphere.

Rich in history, the church has been a silent witness to centuries of Riga's past while serving the ethnic German community in the city. With an average Google rating of 4.7, it ranks highly among attractions, churches, cathedrals, and historical buildings. Periodic concerts add a spellbinding and magnificent vibe, making it not just a place of worship but also a cultural hub.
