Jelgava St. Trinity Church Tower
About This Museum
Rising from the heart of Jelgava, the St. Trinity Church Tower is a stoic, solitary sentinel overlooking the city's main square. Its brickwork facade, a tapestry of time and resilience, stands where a grand church once presided before war left only this tower behind. Climbing its historic stairs rewards you with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama—a patchwork of red rooftops, the lazy curves of the Lielupe River, and the distant spires that define Latvia's pastoral flatness. It’s less a museum and more a living fragment of the city's memory, offering a quiet moment of reflection high above the everyday bustle.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the city itself, viewed from the open-air observation platform; you can also find historical photographs inside that tell the poignant story of the lost church below.
