St. Peter's Church 19 Skarnu iela
First mention of St. Peter's church was made in the year 1209. The church is one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in the Baltics, meant to be the main church of the town. The church tower seemed to be jinxed, it was burned down and rebuilt many times trough the centuries. It first collapsed in 1666 and the last destruction it suffered was on St. Peter's Day in 1941. In 1973 the tower was restored for the last time. From the observation platform of the tower you can enjoy a wonderful eagle's-eye view of Riga.
Inga It is cold and windy in winter indeed, but St. Peter's is still one of my most favourite places in Riga. The view is amazing. The height of tower is just perfect: gives a nice overview and is low enough to see the details
JonathanWell worth a visit. Great views from the top. 2Lats for visit to the top, extra to look round church.
BesharaGreat views in summer! Cold in winters...
