“RIGAAPARTMENT GERTRUDA Apartments & Restaurant” building is located in the centre of the City on the historic Gertrudes Street. The street has a long history where even the Swedish paving stones are touched with of a century of history and perhaps still remembers the sound of horse-drawn carriages clattering down the street.

The street got its name from the church of St. Gertrude in the late 19th century. The church has a beautiful and delicate silhouette of red bricks and sits at the beginning of the street, perfectly visible from the windows and balconies of our hotel.

Gertrudes Street has a rich diversity of buildings and represents over 120 years of architectural history. You can see a variation of building facades everywhere. Large stone houses built in the Art Deco and Eclectic styles compare with the one or two-storey wooden buildings built in the 19th century. The homeowners of the street in those days competed in designing and building the most interesting and unique properties, which gave rise to such a rich history in the street.
