Krāslavas Romas katoļu baznīca is a Baroque church building distinguished by two tall towers flanking its main entrance, with white stone walls decorated with ornamental details and rounded windows. Inside, the structure houses religious items and artwork from different periods.
Construction began in 1755 under an Italian architect and replaced an earlier wooden church structure. This Baroque building was created during a period when the region was experiencing strong European influences.
The church is dedicated to Saint Ludwig, honoring a French king remembered for his sense of justice. Inside, visitors can see portraits painted by an Italian artist depicting local nobility, reminding people of the historical ties between this region and Southern Europe.
