St. Gertrude New Church

The church building on Brīvības Street exhibits eclectic architecture with a combination of structural elements and decorative features on its exterior.

Following the need for expansion due to a 30,000-member congregation, construction of St Gertrude New Church occurred between 1903 and 1906.

The establishment of this church marked a separation between Latvian and German Lutheran congregations, with Latvian services being held in the new building.

Located in the northeastern part of Riga, the church provides regular Lutheran services and maintains an active presence in the religious community.

The building holds status as a National architectural monument of Latvia, representing early 20th-century religious architecture in the Baltic region.
