The original chapel was built in 1793 and rebuilt under the architect Otto Reinhold Zivere in 1884-86. It stood empty from 1939 and in 1991 upon Latvian indpendence it was turned over to the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. St. Jacob Chapel is listed as a national cultural and historical monument.
