Built in 1899 in the traditional Jūrmala wooden architectural style.

There is something quirky and peaceful about the small St. John the Baptist Church in the heart of Ķemeri. The grey wooden building with the red pointed roof blends surprisingly harmoniously into the green surroundings and stands here as if it could tell stories. Ķemeri itself, known for its healing springs and national park, is a place that is often overlooked - and this church seems to be a silent witness to that time.

The church building is simple, but if you look closer you will discover the small details: the classic arched windows, the fenced garden and the calm atmosphere around it. The interior is said to be just as simple, which underlines the simple beauty of the building. If you are looking for a moment of peace or just want to take a slightly different look at Latvian history, it is worth stopping by.

A look into the past shows that the church was used by the Catholic community as a place of refuge and faith - especially in times when the region was undergoing profound changes. Today it seems like a place that carries stories within it and yet has lost none of its quiet permanence.
