History

The building was constructed between 1938 and 1940 with the help of architect Alfrēds Laukirbe. As told by him, the project was ordered by then president Kārlis Ulmanis to prepare for the influx of tourists travelling to the 1940 Helsinki Olympic games in Finland. After completion, hotel “Jelgava” became the most notable and grand accommodation in the country. After the Soviet Union occupation, the hotel became national property and during the 2nd world war the building was almost destroyed to only be reconstructed by 1950. A dedicated plaque to architect Alfrēds Laukirbe can now be found by the entrance. The building has the status of a state protected local cultural monument.
