Various types of sandstones were used for monuments, portals, architectural details and sculptures in Riga as well as in many other places in Latvia. Investigation of properties of Latvia’s Cultural Heritage sandstones with carbonate cement leads to conclude that the stone material required for restoration and partly replacement is not accessible in the Devonian sandstone layers in Latvia. The methodological approach (detailed mineralogical and petrological analyses) can be applied to investigations of all sandstone types. It must be concluded that mainly dimension sandstone has been imported from Gotland (Sweden), Obernkirchen (Germany) and other countries.
