St. Gertrude Old Church, Lutheran church in Vidzeme Suburb, Latvia

The red brick church features a cross-shaped layout with three nave segments, shorter cruciform nave, and concrete decorations on the facade and spire.

The present stone structure, completed in 1869, replaced seven previous wooden churches that stood at this location since 1418, each destroyed during various conflicts.

The church maintains German language services, reflecting its traditional connection to Riga's German community and Lutheran religious practices.

Located at 8 Ģertrūdes Street in Riga, the church contains a functioning organ from 1906 that continues to enhance religious services.

The church walls remain intentionally uncovered, displaying the original red brick construction while incorporating Gothic Revival architectural elements.
