The Indrica Catholic Church

3D Model

The Indrica Catholic Church, located near the Daugava River , is the oldest extant wooden church in Latgale. Constructed between 1655–1658 and 1698 , it remains the oldest wooden structure in Latvia not rebuilt since the 17th century. This Baroque three-aisle hall-type log building features a polygonal apse and horizontal plank cladding. The facade is marked by a three-stage tower with a bell-shaped roof. Internally, a high degree of authenticity is preserved, including a rich wood-carved altar from the Stelmužė school and a crypt housing the Counts Plater family burials. The ensemble includes a fieldstone masonry fence and a unique three-stage bell tower. Despite a 1989 fire, the structure is in satisfactory condition following roof reconstruction. Current maintenance needs include addressing paint delamination and cleaning gutters from larch needle accumulation.
