Riga Cathedral Tower
History and Facts
Riga Cathedral, founded in 1211, is the largest medieval church in the Baltic States. Its tower rises about 90 meters and has been rebuilt more than once — after the major fire of 1547, and again through 17th–18th century renovations that shaped its present silhouette.

Interesting Fact
Inside the cathedral stands one of Europe’s most renowned pipe organs. Built by E. F. Walcker & Co. and inaugurated in 1884, it has over 6,700 pipes, and its sound remains central to Riga’s concert tradition.

Author’s Note
The tower rises, but time kneels.
