Wagner once lived in Riga, on the street now named after him. This hall where he performed occasionally holds concerts.
A smaller, less spectacular church near Saint Peter's. There is a nice altar inside, and unlike most Riga churches, this one is free. The altar is from the Renaissance period and depicts the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The ceiling is from the Gothic period, and has 5 separate vaulted compartments. There is also a huge pipe organ, and many stained glass windows. This church dates back to the mid 1200s.
Amazing sculpture based on a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
