Light garden at Ropaži Church
For the fourth year in a row, a 'Garden of Light' decorative Christmas-spirit installation has appeared at the Ropaži Church (Baznīcas Street 1, Ropaži).
The light installations were set up for the first time in 2020 as a campaign for the renovation of the church and was a big hit, with tens of thousands of visitors, so the tradition continues.
The Garden of Light will be open until January 3, 16:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and 11:00 to 20:00 on weekends.
