It is known for its Rooster🐓 or weathercock.

The construction and the history of the church can be divided into 3️⃣ distinct building styles. Two of them associated with Gothic and Romanesque styles and the third with the early Baroque style. It is also known for its Rooster🐓 or weathercock.

⛪Spire of St. Saviour's Anglican Church (Latvian:Anglikāņu Sv. Pestītāja baznīca). It is Anglican church⛪, located in the north of the old town centre. The foundation stone was laid in 1857 and the church⛪ was dedicated on 26 July 1859. During the Soviet occupation the church had not use, and in 1973 it became the home of Riga Polytechnic Institute student club👨‍👨‍👧‍👧. In 1991, after latvian independence, and English-speaking congregation🛐 was again formed.
