    Built between 1876 and 1883 during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. In the early 1960s, Soviet authorities converted the temple into a planetarium. The cathedral has been restored since Latvia regained independence.
    The entrance for visitors is free and currently is an active orthodox church.

    A beautiful church located close to the freedom monument. This church has a strict dress code and no photo policy so visitors need to respect this before going in. Highly recommend a visit.

    This church as a building is not bad but the nuns are witches .Don't talk don't touch don't take photos don't wear shorts. I saw one of the nuns holding a woman back. I was even too scared to sit down.

    Very impressive church, in a russian orthodox style. You cannot take pictures inside of the Church, but the outside is very beautiful.

    Probably one of the most amazing orthodox churches I've seen, it's an amazing place to visit.

    Visually appealing from the outside, however "no shorts" so "NO ENTRY" for me. Also, no photographs permitted inside, so some of the photos shown here have been sneaky ones. That rule is always disappointing.

    A memorizing cathedral in Russian orthodox style. It's looks different from other churches in Riga and I would recommend visiting it. The outside looks kind of nice but the inside has really beautiful wall paintings. A shame that taking pictures inside is prohibited.

    A very beautiful orthodox cathedral that has been recently renovated. Just to be on the safe and respectful side - ladies, cover your heads before entering.

    This is a beautiful orthodox cathedral. The all area is idyllic. Take time to contemplate it both from inside and outside. Once inside be aware this is an Orthodox church, actually a Cathedral, specially in cathedrals orthodox are very strict, don't try to do it the easy way, you will be pushed out and you will disturb people that are praying. Orthodox churches are just like the Catholic but even more, observe complete silence, women should cover the head, man should wear trousers, avoid sandals. Don't even think about taking fotos, that's a really no go. In a small empty church ask first, in a Cathedral don't even ask it will be refused. Enjoy the mystical ambiance of the church, it is a great experience.

    Beautiful Russian Orthodox cathedral. Wen't in there and thought they played music in a speaker system. Turned out it was a priest together with four or five elderly ladies singing! Perfectly in pitch and wonderful harmonies! There's also a shop were you can by icons and other religious goods close to the entrance. Remember to dress respectfully, and cover your shoulders and legs – both men and women. You are, however, not allowed to take pictures inside.
