What people say
Pedro Pereira

" Located in the heart of Riga's Old Town, it is dedicated to Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.
Originally built in the 13th century, St. Peter's Church underwent various renovations and expansions over the centuries, showcasing a mix of architectural styles, including Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque. Its distinctive feature is its tall spire, which dominates the skyline of Riga and offers panoramic views of the city from its observation platform.
St. Peter's Church played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of Riga throughout its history. It served as a Catholic parish church until the Protestant Reformation, after which it became a Lutheran church. Today, it remains an active Lutheran parish church, hosting regular worship services, concerts, and cultural events."
