Reformed Church in Riga

The Reformed Church in Riga is a church building in the Central District and holds the status of a national architectural monument. The structure features pointed windows, thick stone walls, and a functional interior with high ceilings and clear sightlines.

The church was built in 1701 as a meeting place for German merchants and Protestants in Riga. The 20th century brought major changes, particularly after World War II and during Soviet rule.

The Reformed Church belongs to the Protestant community of Riga, and its name reflects the theological tradition that shaped it. Inside, the space reflects simple design choices typical of Reformed worship practices.

The church building is used for regular services and welcomes visitors who want to explore its appearance and architectural design. Visiting outside of service times allows for free movement through the space.

During the Soviet era, the building was repurposed as a sound studio in the 1960s and temporarily lost its religious function. After Latvia's independence was restored, it returned to its original purpose in 1993.
