Historically, the medieval St.Mary's Cathedral is one of the oldest and the largest religious buildings in Latvia and the Baltic States. For this reason, it stores a wealth of historical, architectural, artistic and cultural treasures..Since it has been restored more and more times, it presents features from different architectural styles: early Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau, etc..Nowadays, it is a place for ecumenical worship services but also one of the major venues for concerts in Riga.

it looked great but was disappointed that although there were signs of renovation outside there was no indication of the extend of the inside

The Cathedral is being renovated, so opening hours are a bit restricted. The outside is magnificent, the inside will be once the work is finished. What I liked about it was that there is a kid's corner in the church as well :) Be prepared that there is a e Euro ticket - surprising for a church, yet going to a good cause.

One of the most important places in Riga. You would find it easily. Even if you are not a religious person come inside and find out more about Latvian history.

when we visited it was undergoing some rennovation. But still a stunning building with an inner courtyard with lots to see.

Riga's Dome Cathedral is home to Latvia's Archbishop, and one of the world's most valuable historic pipe organs, built in 1883-84. When we were there, the organ was being reconstructed, but a young lady still played it for us. Goosebumps! The original cathedral was built in 1215, that burnt down, and another was built later in that century. That lasted until the mid-1500's, when much of it burned down again. Since then, a few reconstructions have taken place, but it still has some of the old. It's beautiful, and worth visiting if you like to hear pipe organs!

The building is impressive and the concert Cello and Organ was great. But organisation was poor long queue people pushing in and no controll. Spoilt otherwise very good concert.

It's an impressive cathedral and we had great time here because we listened organ music concert. The cathedral runs organ music concerts quite often and the program is available in Rigas Doms webpage www.doms.lv

The twenty- minute daily noon-hour organ concerts in August are very popular despite a 7 euro fee. We could have avoided lining-up by buying tickets in advance. The organ is one of the most valuable historic organs in the world, built in 1884, with 6,718 pipes, including one that is 32 feet in length. It was my good fortune to listen to a Widor Toccata, a well-known but difficult piece to play. It was a rare treat to hear such an instrument in such an inspiring building.

The building is very fine - unfortunately some of its grandeur is lost at present as the organ is being refurbished.The entry fee of 3 Eu is a bit steep - Why not go to an evening concert here, enjoy the music and see the Cathedral as part of the experience.
