At Riga Cathedral, see the famous Dome organ--the largest organ in the world at the time of its construction in the late 19th century. Bishop Albert of Riga built the church in the 13th century as archbishop's seat. The rooster on the top of the Baroque clock tower is a guardian of the Christian faith. The largest medieval church in the Baltic states, its appearance has changed many times. Walk around the cloisters to see the original foundations. The church also serves as a concert hall and showcases internationally renowned choirs.

  • Amazing piccolo organ concert at the Riga Cathedral. I also didn't know that they have very pretty yard inside looks like some cathedral in Italy. I highly recommend to visit this place as a tourist. I was born in Riga but never been inside the yard. Also organ is one of the most historical in Europe & World.
  • We happened upon this cathedral right at lunchtime as the daily short organ concert began. It was magical to sit in the cool of the cathedral and listen to a masterful performance! It's always special to visit an ancient house of worship where believers still gather. Don't miss the magnificent stained glass windows or the carving of St. Luke on the side of the pulpit -- he looks a little startled!
