Description:
The Lutheran Church of Subate, which was built in 1685., has the special place in the history of art in Latvia. At the first, its architecture is totally different from the traditional architecture of churches of countrysides in Latvia. At the second, the name of Subate is used to say about the group of woodcarvers and woodsculptors, which at the end of 17. century made a lot of different equipments for churches in Latvia and Lithuania. The equipment of the church in Subate, probable, was the biggest piece of work of this group, it was reconstructed just a little. Under the rich decoration can be easy seen the construction of the building, which is supplemented with the big number of sculptures and narrative mouldings.
