- Abstract
Some of the most valuable eighteenth-century church buildings of the late Baroque period in Latvia belong to the cultural heritage of Latgale region (Eastern Latvia). Roman Catholic churches in Krāslava, Pasiene and Piedruja are among them. Although their interior finish has experienced both improvements and losses during the course of the centuries, a significant number of the initial fresco painted interior decorations have survived and conservation works were carried out there in 2004-2018 with the cooperation of Latvian and Polish restorers. An attempt to evaluate both the specific features of these interior paintings and the results of their investigation and conservation works is the main topic of the article.
