Dubulti Lutheran Church

The Lutheran Dubulti Church is the largest Art Nouveau style stone church in Latvia. The present church was built between 1905 and 1907 by Krišjānis Ķergalvis (1856-1936), a Riga entrepreneur and industrialist and a master mason. The architects of the church were Vilhelms Ludvig Bokslafs (1858-1945) and Edgars Voldemārs Eduards Frīzendorfs (1881-1945). In 1962 the church was converted into a museum and concert hall. It only regained its religious function after Latvia's independence.

Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built between 1902 and 1906 on a former 17th-century Catholic church. During the French Revolution, the future Louis XVIII lived in Jelgava with a courtyard, which left the church with very luxurious liturgical utensils. Although it briefly bore the title of cathedral between 1783 and 1798, it was not until 1995 that the church was finally erected as a cathedral.
