On 18 February 1846, the Great Guild decided to build a wooden church in Agenskalns and to name it after Martins.On 16 May 1851, the foundation stone of the church was laid. The church was designed by the architect Johann Daniel Felsko.

Accessibility issues have been addressed in St Martin’s Church to allow access for people with reduced mobility. Parking is in the forecourt of the church, and there are no specially marked parking spaces. There are no signs from the car park and there is no path with a safe, smooth surface to get to the building. At the beginning of the left longitudinal façade, a small ramp has been constructed at one of the existing doors for access to the door opening and the floor level of the ground floor rooms. From the ramp, an assistant takes the visitor to the point of entry into the building – the side door. There is no elevation to negotiate, and the visitor is free to move around the church. Toilet facilities have been built on the left-hand side of the church’s windscreen to accommodate wheelchair users. The organ is located on the balcony floor of the church building and is accessible via a spiral staircase with many steps. Wheelchair access to the balcony is not possible.
