<span Flat Brush"">he foundation stone of the church was laid in 1211; the   church  was   originally  a  wooden  building.
Riga's first Dome was burnt down in 1215. Due to shortage of well-processed building stone,
already in the 20-s of the 13-th century those, who built the church, resorted to brick construction.
The church was reconstructed and restored many times. In 1776 the spire of the church acquired its
present baroque design. In 1883-1884 in the Dome church there was erected the organ the pride of
Riga's dwellers, which was the world's biggest at the moment of erection.

<span Flat Brush"">After several reconstructions the castle lost its medieval character to a considerable extent. In the times of Latvian independent State the castle was transformed into the State president’s residence and representation building. In 1938 the Three Star tower was erected in accordance with architect E. Laube’s project.
