Baznīcu Nakts - Church Night

Un Atvērto baznīcu diena

Church Night is an open cultural event held in Christian churches at the start of summer, typically at the end of May. In Latvia, over 250 churches participate annually. The event draws inspiration from the ‘House of Unity’, where the organi­zing team gathers to plan the experience.

Church Night offers a unique opportunity to explore churches in a different light, apprecia­ting their cultural and spiritual significance. On this special eve­ning, churches in Riga and across Latvia remain open until midnight or later, invi­ting visitors to enjoy music, art, architecture, conversations, songs, silence, and prayer.

This European-wide initiative also takes place in countries like Estonia, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Germany, offe­ring modern audiences a chance to connect with one of the cornerstones of European culture - Christian heritage in all its diversity.
