Alūksne Lutheran church

Alūksne Lutheran church is a classicist church building in the town of Alūksne and displays symmetrical proportions with white walls and a central bell tower. The structure represents a period when neoclassical design shaped religious architecture across the Baltic region.

The church was built in 1781 during a period of shifting European influences across the Baltic region. It has stood through significant political and social changes and remains as a physical reminder of Latvia's religious heritage from that era.

The church serves as a spiritual center for the local Lutheran community and hosts religious education programs throughout the year. It remains an important gathering place for residents during celebrations and religious observances.

The church is located at Pils iela 25 and can be visited during regular opening hours. Visitors interested in guided tours should arrange these in advance with the local tourism office.

The church is located in Alūksne, which sits at one of Latvia's highest elevations and overlooks the nearby Lake Alūksne. This geographical position gives the town a distinctive character within the otherwise flat landscape of the country.
