Wonderful church with a unique construction. I attended an adoration of thw Holy Sacrament during the weekend and there was a priest that attended a confession. We need more of this. Unfortunately when i was there, the church was in renewing.

Rīgas Svētā Jēkaba Romas katoļu katedrāle ir Romas katoļu Rīgas metropolijas Rīgas arhidiecēzes draudzes katedrāle un arhibīskapa rezidence Vecrīgā, Jēkaba ielā 9, kas celta 1225. gadā. Vēsturiski pirmais latviešu draudzes dievnams Rīgā (1523).

Rīgas kultūrvēsturiskajai videi nozīmīga celtne gan kā arhitektūras piemineklis, kurā saglabāti arī daudzi Latvijas sakrālās mākslas kontekstā nozīmīgi mākslas pieminekļi, gan kā UNESCO Pasaules kultūras mantojuma sarakstā iekļautā Rīgas vēsturiskā centra būtiska arhitektoniska dominante. Kā Romas katoļu Baznīcas arhibīskapa katedrāle Sv. Jēkaba baznīca kopā ar tai līdzās esošo Svētās Marijas Magdalēnas baznīcu, kūrijas un klostera ēkām, kā arī dažādu katoļu laju organizāciju mītnēm, veido šīs konfesijas garīgo centru Rīgā. Šobrīd Jēkaba baznīca ir Rīgas katoļu centrs, te dievkalpojumus vada Romas katoļu Baznīcas monsinjors J.Pujāts.

Šai samērā nelielajai baznīcai (garums apmēram 50 m) ir visai izteiksmīgs slaids tornis (86 m), kas labāk par pārējiem saglabājis Rīgas viduslaiku baznīcu torņiem raksturīgo piramidālo formu (baznīcas torni rotā nevis krusti, bet gan gaiļi). Pēc plānojuma Sv. Jēkaba baznīca ir tipiska lauku baznīca (Dorfkirche). Dievnams sastāv no kora, īsas trīsjoma draudzes telpas un torņa, kas novietots virs vidusjoma rietumu travejas un noslēdzas ar gotisku smaili. Kvadrātveida bezapsīdas koris, kuru sedz krusta velves bez nervīrām, norāda uz cisterciešu arhitektūras ietekmi.

Одно из старейших зданий столицы Латвии. Первое упоминание об этой церкви зафиксировано в 1225 году. Собственно, дата выложена кирпичной кладкой на фасаде храма. Сначала церковь была за пределами крепостной стены и лишь после расширения границ города из предместной стала едва ли не центральной. И неудивительно: до Домского Собора пять минут ходьбы. На протяжении семи столетий за владение храмом боролись католики и лютеране. Какое-то время собор находился даже под управлением рижского Магистрата. В 1819 году с кафедры храма объявили об отмене крепостного права в Лифляндии. Католики-таки добились того, чтобы церковь отдали им. Случилось это на изломе первого и второго десятилетий 20 века. А спустя 70 лет здесь с визитом побывал Папа Иоанн-Павел II. Внутри убранство строгое и простое, как и полагается раннехристианской соборной архитектуре. Но здесь чувствуешь умиротворение и благость. Скоро после реставрации откроется остроконечная башня соборной колокольни, и тогда он предстанет во всей своей красе, а на его шпиле засверкает на солнце...
