The Polish House in Daugavpils is an important centre for preserving and promoting the Polish language, culture, history, and national heritage. It regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts, festivals, and other cultural events that bring together different generations and strengthen the connection with Polish traditions.
The building of the Polish House was purchased in 1930 with funds collected by the local Polish community. During the Soviet period, it was nationalised, but after the restoration of Latvia’s independence, the property was returned to the Polish community. In 1997, with the support of the Daugavpils City Council, the Polish Cultural Centre was established in the building. Today, it continues to enrich the cultural life of Latgale and Latvia as a whole, preserving and promoting Polish traditions. Since 2026, the activities of the Polish House have been included in the structure of the National Culture Centre, introducing a new organisational model. Nevertheless, the Polish House continues to fulfill its cultural mission.
The mission of the Polish House team is to preserve Polish culture, language, and historical heritage, as well as to create an environment where people of different generations can develop their talents and strengthen their connection to their roots. It is an open space for creativity, collaboration, and shared cultural experiences.
The Polish House hosts concerts, creative workshops, competitions, exhibitions, festivals, and art classes for children, young people, and adults. An important part of its work is cooperation with Polish schools, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, Polish associations, and cultural institutions in Latvia and Poland, enabling joint projects and artistic exchange programs.
