St. Francis Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Latgale Suburb, Latvia.
St. Francis Church is a brick building in Latgale Suburb that displays the Gothic Revival style through its pointed arches, vertical proportions, and decorative stone details. The structure features a traditional church layout with a clear nave, side sections, and a distinctive roofline that defines the neighborhood skyline.
The church was built in 1889 during a period when Riga saw growth in its Catholic population and needed new religious buildings. This construction represented an effort to serve the expanding community in a city where such institutions were less common.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Catholic community in Riga, where people come together for ceremonies, celebrations, and daily worship. Its presence shapes the religious life of the Latgale district and remains a focal point for the local faithful.
The church is located at Katolu iela 16 and can be reached on foot from nearby public transport stops in Latgale. Visitors can enter for private prayer throughout the week or attend regular services held in the building.
The building is one of the few examples of nineteenth-century Catholic church architecture in a city predominantly shaped by Lutheran places of worship. This distinction makes it a notable testament to the religious diversity that existed in Riga.
