Lutheran church in Piņķi

The Lutheran church features traditional architectural elements with a prominent nine-register organ constructed by Wilhelm Sauer in 1890.

The church construction started with a cornerstone ceremony on May 25, 1872, following architect J.D. Felsco's design, and reached completion in 1874.

The church maintains its position as a national architectural monument of Latvia, representing the strong Lutheran heritage within the local community.

Located 16 kilometers from Riga, this religious building welcomes visitors to explore its interior and offers night illumination for enhanced visibility.

A commemorative rock stands next to the church, marking the location where Colonel Jukums Vācietis delivered a sermon to Latvian riflemen in 1916.
