Beyond the Horizon

October 25, 2024

The Saint Saviour’s Anglican Church in Riga offers a special combination of Gothic architecture and history. Built in 1857, this church was originally intended for the growing English-speaking community in Riga, especially the British merchants and sailors who operated in the Latvian capital. The location of the church is also interesting, hidden in a picturesque corner of the Old Town, which makes visiting it a little adventure.

The church’s facade, with its characteristic red brick, and the small hidden alleys around it, give this place a unique charm. Inside, you immediately feel the peaceful atmosphere, and if you look closer, you will discover the finely crafted stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible.

As you explore the alleys around the church, the path takes you past picturesque old buildings that exude the typical Riga charm – a mix of history and modernity. What is particularly remarkable is that the church is still active today and holds regular services, making it a vibrant part of the community.
