The Baptist Prayer House is located in the Jaunbūve neighbourhood, not far from the Church Hill. Its construction began in 1932, and the official opening took place on 1 October 1933. The prayer house became known as the “Baltā baznīca” (“White Church”).
During the occupation of Latvia, the building housed the headquarters of the Workers’ Guard. In 1948, a cinema called “Uzvara” was opened in these premises, operating until the end of 1958. Later, with the establishment of the Daugavpils Medical College nearby, the prayer house building was transferred to the college’s use. In 1994, the Baptist congregation regained its church, and it remains open to visitors today.
A worship service is held every Sunday at 10:00.
