A great investment in the city centre

In the very heart of Riga, next to the Esplanade Park, stands an elegant Art Nouveau building rich in history — “Šefela House”, located at 5 Baznīcas Street. Designed in 1908 by renowned architect Friedrich Scheffel, this architectural gem embodies the refined spirit of Riga’s golden era and remains an integral part of the city’s cultural heritage.

Within this beautifully renovated building, a three-room apartment without interior finishing is offered for sale — a blank canvas for those who wish to create a home that reflects their own vision and lifestyle. The impressive ceiling height of up to 4 meters fills the space with light and a sense of grandeur, while the generous layout allows for flexible planning, whether classical or contemporary.
Great care has been taken during the renovation to preserve the building’s authentic character. Original parquet floors, ornate ceiling decorations, stained-glass windows, historic window constructions, and exquisite wood carvings in the staircases have all been carefully restored, creating an atmosphere where history and modern comfort coexist in harmony.

The building is connected to district heating with individual heat metering, and all common areas have been thoughtfully renovated, respecting the architectural integrity of the house.

This apartment is more than just real estate — it is an opportunity to become part of Riga’s architectural legacy, to live in one of the city’s most prestigious locations, and to create a residence with timeless character. It also represents an excellent investment, offering lasting value in both space and time.
