St. Peter's Church in Riga is one of the most impressive Gothic-style sanctuaries in the Baltic States, originally built in 1209. The church is famous for its tall spire, which has been struck by lightning and rebuilt six times throughout history. The current 123-meter-high tower, featuring a panoramic elevator, offers breathtaking views of Riga. The church serves not only as a Lutheran place of worship but also as a venue for concerts and exhibitions, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world.
