Church Hill

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:31:40

Celebrating the city's multiculturalism, churches of four main local Christian denominations face each other on a small hill dissected by 18 Novembra iela. While local Lutherans flock into the red-brick neo-Gothic Martin Luther Cathedral , the Catholics congregate at Holy Virgin Cathedral . The above two mingle with the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Princes Boris & Gleb and the Old Believer's Novostroyensky Church of Resurrection, Holy Virgin & St Nikola .

All except for the latter – Russian dissidents have always been a bit of a secret society – are open for visitors. See how blessed you can get in one go.
