Reviews of Sigulda
The parish of Sigulda was established back in 1225. Historical records show that the first church was built near Sigulda castle a year later. There are no records about its appearance, but we can presume it was a wooden structure. A masonry church was later built in its place and is mentioned in the 1483 chronicles as the church of St. Bartholomew.
In 1995, the congregation started building a new church using the project of the architect Maija Krastiņa. The building was sanctified already in September 1996. The church is built on the honor of the Holy Jesus Heart. A reciprocal icon is in the main altar that is a copy of the painter Šēnbergs picture.
Turaida Evangelic Lutheran church. One of the oldest wooden churches in Latvia, built-in 1750. From the times of the church building, the church equipment was partially preserved. After the church restoration in 2009 - 2010, it has returned visually in 260 years old past, by preserving its splendor and elegance in its simplicity.
Allaži Evangelical Lutheran church was built in 1926 by architect Pauls Kundziņš and it is a national architecture monument. During the Soviet period, there was a canteen in the church but later – a storehouse. Nowadays, the church is completely renovated.
