Königsberg Cathedral & Kant's Tomb
Кафедральный собор
A 14th-century brick Gothic cathedral on Kant Island, with the tomb of the philosopher Immanuel Kant in its northeast corner, a museum, and a concert hall with an organ.
The cathedral was built between 1333 and 1380 on Kant Island (formerly Kneiphof) in the Pregolya River. It was badly damaged in World War II and has been restored since the 1990s. It now serves as a museum and concert hall. The colonnade at the northeast corner of the exterior is Kant's tomb, which can be visited for free. Inside are a Kant memorial exhibition, a historical exhibition, and one of the largest organs in Russia. The evening organ concerts are very popular, and they require a separate ticket. The island is a sculpture park, and you can walk along the river to a fishing village on the opposite bank. Tickets cost several hundred rubles, depending on the day. The cathedral can be reached on foot from the city center or by tram.
