Evangelical Lutheran Church in Aloja
Aloja Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church church located in the centre of Aloja.
Aloja Evangelical Lutheran Church is a church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia, located in the center of Aloja town.
The congregation was founded in 1534. In 1695, a wooden post-and-beam structure was built, reinforced with brick grids and fieldstones. Until 1706, the church bell was located in a bell tower next to the church. On the evening of May 24, 1768, lightning struck the church, causing it to burn down. The current church was built in its place and consecrated on February 21, 1776.
The church furnishings (altar and pulpit) have been preserved from the late 18th century. The organ was built in 1856 and rebuilt by Mārtiņš Krēsliņš in the early 20th century. The church houses the altar painting Christ Blesses.
From the church tower, one can see a panoramic view of Aloja. In the churchyard, there is a memorial stone dedicated to the repressed.
