Unity House Infrastructure

Located in the center of Daugavpils between Unity Square and Andreja Pumpuras Square. Unity House was built (by architect Verners Vitands) during the first independent state of Latvia - in the interwar period, after the proposal of the President of Latvia Kārlis Ulmanis for donations and state budget funds. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1936, and the building was consecrated on December 19, 1937. It should be noted that Unity House was the most modern multifunctional building in Europe, as under one roof were the Daugavpils Theater, the Latvian Society, a library and other public institutions, including a modern restaurant and the Army's economic store.

Nowadays, the Unity House houses the Daugavpils Theater, the Latvian Cultural Center, the Latvian House, a tourism information center, the Latgale Central Library, the US Information Center, a bank, a cafe, a fitness club, etc.
