Lielā Ģilde ir viena no vecākajām sabiedriskajām ēkām Baltijā. Tās<br />
pirmssākumi meklējami 14. gadsimtā. Vēsturiski šī ēka vienmēr ir tikusi<br />
izmantota kultūras un sabiedriskiem pasākumiem. Pēc ugunsgrēka 1963. gadā<br />
ēkai tika piebūvēts jauns foajē un interjeru pielāgoja koncertzāles vajadzībām.<br />
Tā rezultātā izveidojās Rīgas Filharmonija. Šodien Lielajā Ģildē tiek rīkoti<br />
koncerti, konferences, semināri, kā arī publiski pasākumi. Lielā Ģilde ir arī<br />

going back as far as the 14 th century. Historically, the building has always<br />
been open to cultural, community and social events. After a fire in 1963, a new<br />
lobby was added and the interior adapted for concert use, resulting in the Rīga<br />
Philharmonic being established in the Latvian capital. Today, the Great Guild<br />
continues to host concerts, conferences, seminars and even social events. It<br />
