Spīķeri Creative Quarter

The buildings of the Speicherstadt have been renovated and now house shops, offices, studios and lettings.

The Spīķeru radošais kvartāls in Riga is a fascinating example of how historic industrial buildings can be transformed into vibrant, creative places. Originally built in the 19th century as warehouses along the Daugava, the quarter was used to store goods that were transported across the rivers. The brick buildings, which are more than 150 years old, were designed by the best Baltic architects of their time and are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.Today, the buildings shine in new splendor and house a colorful mix of galleries, event spaces and creative offices. Especially in the summer months, the quarter becomes the city's cultural hotspot with various open-air events such as concerts, film nights and flea markets. It is a place where past and present meet in an exciting way - ideal for a relaxed stroll along the promenade or a discovery tour through the winding alleys and hidden courtyards.Here you can feel Riga's industrial heritage at every turn, while at the same time the district is pulsating with modern life.
