About the neighborhood

Agenskalns sits on the left bank of the Daugava River, directly across from Riga's historic center. Once home to factory workers in the 19th century, it's now known for its wooden architectural heritage, tree-lined streets, and a growing community of artists, creatives, and young professionals. It offers a quieter, more residential feel than downtown Riga - without sacrificing convenience.
