    The Church of St. Simon of Valmiera is a Lutheran church in Valmiera. The stone church on the steep banks of the Gauja River was built in 1283 and is one of the oldest churches in Latvia. The name of the church is believed to be related to its dedication on the day of Simjud (Simon and Jude) - October 28th.

    In the first centuries, the Church of St. Simon in Valmiera was a Catholic parish. In 1554, the Livonian Diet proclaimed the freedom of the Lutheran faith in Livonia, which curbed bitter conflicts between Catholics and adherents of the new faith. St. Today, St. Simon's Church is an important symbol for the city of Valmiera and the Vidzeme region, where the Lutheran congregation is one of the largest Lutheran congregations in Latvia.
