This year, LVL 502,000 will be provided by the Riga City Council for restoration of the Dome Church, whereas the rest of the amount will be allotted in 2011 and subsequent years.
The priorities in restoration of the Dome Church include roof renovation and re-roofing, restoration of the building's facade and restoration of the organ, which altogether may cost as much as LVL 4 million, of which LVL 2 million are to be provided by the Riga City Council and the other LVL 2 million are to be received from European Union funds.
It is hoped that Dome Church restoration will be completed in two-three years - by 2014, when Riga will be Europe's Cultural Capital.
Latvian Lutheran Church Archbishop Janis Vanags previously said that Dome Church is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Riga, and the church is visited by approximately 130,000 people each year.
