The only synagogue in Riga that survived the Holocaust, and the only active one in the city — one of two still working in Latvia, the other being in Daugavpils.

Built in 1903-05 to a design by Wilhelm Neumann and Hermann Seuberlich, in the Art Nouveau style. It survived the Holocaust because it stands wall to wall with other Old Town buildings, which the Nazis would have burned with it.
