About the Church
The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity in Puša stands in the settlement of Puša, in the Rēzekne region, in Latgale, and is an architectural monument of national significance.
The wooden log church was built in 1743 by Anton Šadurski, owner of the Puša manor. Soon after it was built, the church was placed in the care of the Jesuits, and until 1820 it served as an important centre of the Jesuit mission.
It is a church of traditional log construction on a stone foundation. Inside are three altars, the central one adorned with wood carvings from the middle of the 18th century, and a working organ built by the Latvian master J. Gremze; the altar and the organ have been declared works of art of national significance. Beside the church stands a bell tower about 10 metres high with bells cast in 1743 and 1881, and Jesuits are buried in crypts built beneath the stone foundations.
