    Impressive church that can be seen from a long way off. Be sure to take a look inside!

      The current church was built in 2017/2018 on the site of a previous building. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan.
      The original church was built on July 18, 1894, financed by donations. The church was consecrated on July 23, 1896. The building remained undamaged during the First and Second World Wars. However, during the Soviet occupation of Latvia, the church was demolished in 1962.

        The Orthodox Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Jūrmala is an impressive architectural highlight, built in 2013 on the foundations of an older, destroyed church from 1896. The colorful blue and gold domes stand out clearly against the green surroundings, and the artistic design of the facade draws the eye.

        The church symbolizes a special spiritual significance: The Kazan Icon itself is revered in the Russian Orthodox tradition as a protective and blessing icon that is said to have once saved Russia from the downfall. The Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan has been valued as a miraculous icon for centuries and has a turbulent history that also made it a symbol of faith and hope. In Jūrmala, the icon finds a worthy representation through the new church building and gives the surroundings a solemn atmosphere
