“To me, this church in Riga’s old town embodies Europe’s resilience and community. It has stood the test of time since the 13th century despite the destruction it has faced. During and after its construction it was interrupted by citywide fires, plague, and wars. And yet the sanctuary still remains, having been refinished into its original form: with its Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque designs in its sections. Built by the collaborative effort of workers, from the foundations of their previous generation. Maintaining its history and identity.”
