SightseeingCulture and history
Add Photos

The history of Vecbornes church is highly interesting because there are two Vecbornes churches in Latvia. One is located in the Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum, second – in Krāslavas region, Kaplavas rural municipality. The wooden church of Old Bornes is now situated in the Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum, presumably, it had been built in 1537. In 1936 after a suggestion of Monument Board and Ethnographic Open Air Museum, Vecbornes church was dismantled and transferred to Rīga. The current church of Borne was built and consecrated in 1939.

The church was rebuilt and repaired several times, it is characterized by the interaction of historical styles and popular construction techniques.
