St. Francis Church

The brick structure of St. Francis Church displays pointed arches, vertical lines, and decorative elements characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture.

The church emerged in 1889 during a period of religious expansion in Riga, serving the growing Catholic population of the Latgale district.

St. Francis Church functions as a central religious institution for Catholic ceremonies and gatherings in the Latgale district of Riga.

The church stands at Katolu iela 16, with regular services conducted in Latvian and opportunities for individual prayer throughout the week.

The structure remains one of the few examples of nineteenth-century Catholic church architecture in the predominantly Lutheran city of Riga.
