St. Saviour's church, Riga

The St. Saviour's Church stands as a red brick structure with Gothic Revival architecture, featuring stained glass windows in yellow and brown circular designs.

The foundation stone was laid in 1857, and Bishop Walter Trower consecrated the church in 1859 on ten square meters of soil imported from Britain.

The church operates as an active Anglican community within the Diocese of Europe, conducting regular Sunday services and maintaining connections with the wider Anglican communion.

The church building accommodates 140 people and opens its doors for Sunday services at 11 AM, while also providing space for concerts and community gatherings.

During the Soviet period, the building served as a disco for technical university students before returning to its religious purpose after Latvia's independence.
