About Us - Riga St. Francis Roman Catholic Church

Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Riga (Katoļu iela 16).

The church was built in the Neo-Gothic style (with pointed arches and towers like something out of a fairy tale) from red and yellow bricks. It stands on a site where an old cemetery once lay, which is why a protective wall was later built around it. When you step inside, the walls are unplastered — you can see beautiful, red bricks. But the most fascinating part is up by the ceiling. In 1960, artists restored the ceiling paintings. These weren't made up from imagination — they are precise copies from the famous Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy. The church pews were ordered and crafted at the renowned Russo-Baltic Wagon Factory located nearby (the very place where they built trains and cars!)

History of St. Francis Church 1889: The cornerstone was laid. Just 1 year later: The roof was already in place! Another year after that: Both 60-meter towers were completed and central heating was installed.
