Pie Garkalnes luterāņu baznīcas

Iškylos vieta, Rigas regions

Pie Garkalnes luterāņu baznīcas is the site of the Garkalne Evangelical Lutheran Church in Ādaži municipality's Garkalne parish. The current stone church was consecrated on July 25, 1848, replacing earlier wooden chapels on the site, one of which was destroyed during the Great Northern War; it was built to serve congregants from three nearby manors along the old Riga-Petersburg road. Used as a warehouse during the Soviet period, it was restored from the 1990s onward, gaining a new roof and rebuilt tower. Its adjoining cemetery holds the grave of Ieva Jaunsudrabiņa, mother of writer Jānis Jaunsudrabiņš, whose gravestone he had placed there in 1960 while in exile.
