Micro container!

[Eng] Bikeru (Goblet's) church was built in 1766. There is tale about why the church was built here. "Once upon a time an empress had a walk around there and when she got thirsty some peasant gave her a goblet with water. In gratitude for this kind gesture she ordered to build a church there." To get there by public transport use bus Nr. 16 (Garkalnes Mucenieki). You can get out in two bus stops - "Ratnieki" or "Bernu slimnica". Ticket costs Ls 0,50 for each ride! [Lat] Bikeru (Bikernieku) luteranu baznica celta 1766. g. Tas barokalo portalu grezno akmeni kalts Rigas gerbonis. Ergelu balkonu balsta toskaniešu kartojuma koka kolonnas. 1766.-1769. g. macitajs te bija J. G. Herders. Teika stasta, ka baznica nosaukta bikera varda, jo šada trauka zemnieks reiz pasniedzis udeni keizarienei, kura kadu dienu bijusi pastaiga prom no sava galma. Pateiciba vina likusi šeit uzcelt baznicu.
