Johann von Koch

Johann von Koch (4 September 1850 – 12 March 1915) was a German architect and professor. He was the author of numerous public buildings in Riga, Latvia. His work, influenced heavily by Italian Renaissance architecture, represents a significant contribution to the historicist movement in Central and Eastern Europe during the late 19th century.

Johann von Koch's architecture is notable for its adherence to Italian Renaissance idioms, often citing specific Venetian sources. His style stood in contrast to the more eclectic and flexible historicism of contemporaries like Stephan Tragl.
