Holy Trinity Church in Jelgava, Lutheran church tower in Jelgava, Latvia.
Holy Trinity Church is a Lutheran church in Jelgava with a restored tower spanning nine floors that visitors can explore. The tower features exhibition spaces on each level dedicated to the history and heritage of the Zemgale region.
The church was built in 1688 and served as the largest religious building in the Zemgale region for centuries. It suffered significant damage during World War II but was later carefully restored.
The tower exhibitions present the history of traditional Zemgale costumes, displaying regional dress patterns, specific color selections, and manufacturing techniques.
The tower is easy to locate in the city center and accessible from multiple directions. Visitors should be prepared for stairs since the building relies on step access between levels.
A glass floor on the ninth level creates an unusual sensation as visitors stand above the city with a clear view downward. This transparent walkway offers an unexpected perspective that many overlook when visiting.
