The church is beautiful, but the setting for the mass is a disaster, Mr. organist!!! This is impossible to listen to, have you heard yourself????

It's impossible to listen to this organist's screeching - your ears literally bleed. It's strange that the parish priest doesn't hear this and doesn't ask one of the parishioners (e.g. from the choir) for help with singing...

We weren't allowed to see the interior because the church was closed at high noon. From the outside it looks dignified and impressive

Ładny zadbany kościół. Dobre nagłośnienie, Ciekawe kazania.

The church dates back to the turn of the century, built in brick in the Gothic style. The equipment of the church comes from the Baroque period, although there are Gothic, Renaissance and Neo-Gothic elements. Over the centuries, the temple was destroyed by fire and robbed of the equipment by invaders and rebuilt. The church received its current shape in the nineteenth century.

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
