Lutheran church in Katlakalns, Lutheran church building in Katlakalns, Latvia.
The Lutheran Church in Katlakalns is a church building with a cupola-shaped roof standing in a rural setting. Its interior is organized around a central altar positioned opposite the entrance, with seating arranged for congregational use.
The structure was designed and built in 1791 by Christoph Haberland, Riga's chief construction specialist, and replaced an earlier 17th-century building on the same site. This marked a turning point in the religious and architectural life of the area.
The congregation gathers here for traditional Lutheran services, and the interior displays religious objects from centuries past that tell the story of faith in this region.
The church is situated in a rural setting and is easily accessible by road. Visitors should dress respectfully and maintain quiet when entering the building.
The altar painting depicts Christ and Saint Peter in a storm-tossed sea, capturing a dramatic moment from scripture. The adjoining cemetery holds the grave of Baltic German writer Garlieb Merkel, adding another layer of historical interest.
