The first documental evidence of the existence of the church is dated by 1209. The present tower of the church has been constructed in 1491, but on March 11th, 1666 the 130 m high tower has fallen from a strong wind. The new tower has been constructed on its place, but it has burnt down in fire in 1677. In 1690 an architect Rupert Bindenshu has constructed a new tower, but the lightning has struck it in 1721 and it burnt down again. Iogan Vilbern has constructed a new tower only in 1746. The new tower has remained intact up to the end of the Second World War, when St. Peter's church has been destroyed.
In 1967 the unique reconstruction of the tower has started. The new tower was made of metal. The elevator was built inside, so that galleries could have been used as a viewing platform. The height of the tower is 123,25 meters. Visitors are lifted to the second gallery on height in 72 meters.

Legenda.
It happened in this time, when St. Peter's Church just had built. On the tower wanted to impose a golden rooster as symbol of Riga. But every night it fallen down at the same place at the door. Builders begun to think, why is it happen. Than builders went to the old woman, which all kept as witch. She said, that it is vain effort to put the golden rooster at the tower, because people are so attached to gold, so they asked God if rooster falls, than they could steal one night. At least builders placed a simple metal rooster on the church tower.
