SightseeingCulture and history
Add Photos

The parish is one of the oldest in Latvia, but nowadays it is rather small. The church was built in 1864, later an organ was installed, a bell tower was built. Unfortunately, the church was almost completely destroyed in Soviet times, it was used as a grain storage place, later – as a sports school. Now the parish is restoring the building.

Lutheran church in Ludza was mentioned already in 1599. From 1864 to 1866 a new church was built. The land for the construction of the church was presented by a German named Becker. But immediately after the construction in a large city fire, a church was destroyed. In 1872, another brick church without a tower was built in its place. The main organizers of the construction of the church were Fogt and the owner of the Franopoles estate. Approximately in 1885, an organ made in Eilenburg was installed in the church.
