Opposite the old town, on the left bank of the Daugava, rises the building of the Latvian National Library - also known as the Castle of Light - one of the most impressive cultural buildings in Latvia.

The visit is worthwhile because of the architecture, inside as well as outside. You can also go up to the viewing platform. In addition, the cafeteria is pretty good.

The Latvian National Library, founded in 1919, received a respectable new building in 2015 on the banks of the Daugava River.
