The beginning of the church was dated at the end of the
XIII century, when the Dominicans built a church for the
necessities of a cloister. This church was destroyed several
times, therefore we can find a fusion of different architectural
styles, but in fact, this is not the only example of this
kind architectural monuments in Riga due to complex history
of the city.More than 400 years services in Latvian have
been held in this church.
A fragment of the fortification wall surrounding the city
of Riga can be seen in this yard. The walls were 11 m high
and up to 2.5 m thick. St.John Church's Courtyard was reconstructed
in the 60-ties.
