Riga Reformed Church is an ancient Reformed (Calvinist) church at 10 Mārstaļu Street, Old Riga. Currently, the church building belongs to the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church and the LELB Youth Center has been installed in it. The building is an architectural monument of national importance. It is a baroque one-dimensional stone building with a wooden covering, a high gable roof facing Mārstaļu Street, crowned by a small turret with a dome and a gallery. The façade is rhythmically divided by pilasters located on a high plinth, while the so-called Morning Star is located on the spire of the building's tower. The sandstone entrance portal was created in Bremen and installed in 1737. In the entrance lobby there are two wooden staircases, but in the ceiling of the walls of the hall the original division of pilasters – the mirror vault – has been preserved. With the pulpit, the combined altar and organ balcony were built in 1805 in the style of classicism. In 1783, the organ of the firm of Heinrich Andreas Concius was installed, and in 1847 the organ of the firm of Schulze.
