[1] In common with other ancient suburban parish churches in Riga, the church building has been destroyed and rebuilt on a number of occasions, as a result of war or siege.

The first church building was built in the seventeenth century; the foundation stone was laid in 1635, and it was consecrated in 1638.

It is located in the more impoverished part of Riga, south-east of the old town, behind the imposing Latvian Academy of Sciences building.

There is an active children's ministry and the church claims to have the largest Sunday School in Latvia.
