This is St. Peters Church--the highest Gothic church in Latvia. It was constructed during different time periods--from the 13th century to the 15th. The tower with the 3 cupolas was added in the 17th century. Being of ALL wood construction, the tower has burned on several occasions--the latest being 1941 when the 2nd WW reached Riga. It was renewed in 1971, no longer using all wood to do so.
