St. Peter's Church, Lutheran church in Old Town, Latvia
The church features a 123-meter-high metal tower with observation platforms offering views over Riga's historic center and the Daugava River.
Founded in 1201 during the Baltic crusades, the church served as a gathering place for merchants and received its first public clock in 1352.
The structure represents three architectural styles with its brick Gothic base, Gothic art elements, and Baroque tower additions from later centuries.
The church opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays for evening tower visits.
The tower experienced multiple reconstructions through centuries, including a 1690 version that stood as the tallest wooden structure in the world.
