The complex includes 3 – 4 storey tenement houses in Dzirnavu Street 84, Marijas Street 13, Elizabetes Street 85а; on the ground floors of the buildings there are shops with facades made in the Neo-renaissance style. The main component of the Berga Bazar is the group of buildings constructed inside the square with passageway on the ground floor.

Originally Berga Bazar included a total of 131 shops, various workshops, a printing house and restaurant. In the last quarter of 20th century the premises of shops in the passage have been partly renovated. In 2003 one of the central buildings, where the hotel “Bergs” is located, was reconstructed.
