The Dubultu evanģēliski luteriskā baznīca in Jūrmala is a stunning example of Art Nouveau with elements of national romantic architecture, designed by architect Wilhelm Bokslafs between 1907 and 1909. The largest Art Nouveau stone church in Latvia, this church attracts visitors not only for its architecture but also for its history. During the Soviet era, it served as the Museum of Art and History of Jūrmala before returning to the ownership of the Lutheran community after 1990.
Particularly striking is the massive bell tower, which makes an imposing sight with its carved masks and flower garlands. The interior of the church is also worth a look: the wooden balconies and ornately decorated benches reflect the craftsmanship of the time. The atmosphere here is calm and reverent - a perfect place to take a little break from city life and enjoy the historical aura.
The church is also just a short walk from the Lielupe River and is set in a green environment that embeds it in the natural beauty of Jūrmala. A visit is worthwhile not only for architecture lovers, but for anyone who wants to discover the cultural and historical sides of the city.
