Latvian Baroque refers to the artistic and architectural style that emerged in Latvia during the 17th and 18th centuries. This period was characterized by elaborate designs, grandeur, and intricate details, influenced by the broader European Baroque movement. Notable examples include the Riga Cathedral and the St. Peter's Church, which showcase the ornate decorations typical of this style. The movement was closely linked to the rise of the Duchy of Courland and the influence of the Catholic Church, which commissioned many of the works. Latvian Baroque also reflects the cultural exchanges between Germany, Poland, and Sweden, contributing to a unique regional interpretation of Baroque art.
