Holy Trinity Cathedral
Liepājas Svētās Trīsvienības katedrāle
An 18th-century Lutheran church with a huge organ that was once the largest mechanical pipe organ in the world. Visitors can climb the tower for views over the old town.
Holy Trinity Cathedral was built between 1742 and 1758. Its exterior is simple, but its interior is richly decorated in Rococo style. The church is best known for its organ, which had 131 stops and about 7,000 pipes when completed. Until 1912, it was the largest mechanical organ in the world. Visitors can buy tickets to climb the bell tower and look out over the rooftops of the old town and the harbor. Summer often brings organ concerts. The cathedral is on the city's main street, and the Amber Concert Hall is within walking distance.
