The Church of St Mary and All Saints was built in the 14th century and is in Gothic style. Its north transept was rebuilt in 1769. The church underwent extensive renovations in 1843 and 1896/8. The church's famous twisted spire dates from around 1362. Legend has it that the church spire turned when trying to look at a bride, surprised that she was a virgin. Other stories see it as an act of the devil. It is now believed that the twisting of the spire was caused by the lead expanding faster on the south (sunny) side than on the north side of the tower, resulting in uneven expansion and contraction.

The Church of St Mary Magdalene was first built as a wooden monastery chapel around 1260 during the reign of Archbishop Albert II of Riga (1253-1273). In 1591, large-scale renovations were carried out in the church building, the visual aspect changed: new windows were installed, new paintings were applied. Between 1621 and 1710, under the Swedish occupation, Catholicism was banned and the monastery and church were therefore destroyed. Between 1632 and 1639, the church was restored and transformed into a Swedish garrison Lutheran church. In 1710, during the siege of Riga, the building burned down and Tsar Peter I of Russia ordered the restoration of the church and handed it over to the Orthodox, renaming it St. Peter's Church. The church thus obtained its present form in 1746. The church was finally given back to Catholic worship in 1922.
