Sea Star Virgin Kolka Roman Catholic Church
More than 900 years have passed since the construction of the first catholic church in Kolka. For centuries there was no church of this confession here, not even during the independent state of Latvia.
In 1992–1997 a Roman Catholic parish got established in Kolka and an own church was necessary. In July 1997 with the permission by Liepāja Diocese Bishop Ārvalds Andrejs Brumanis, under the management by the priest Andrejs Mediņš, the log church built in 1935 in Saka Grīņi was dismantled. By 4 October it was erected anew in Kolka. The arrangement of the altar was changed, the confessional from Grīņi was preserved.
The church was consecrated by Bishop Ārvalds Andrejs Brumanis with the feast day celebrated on August 22nd.
