About the the cathedral
The interior of the Holy Trinity Cathedral Liepaja, Latvia
The foundation stone of the cathedral was laid in 1742, and in 1758 the church was consecrated. The construction of the temple was fully completed only in 1866, when two more floors were added in accordance with the main project. The architecture of the cathedral is designed in the late Baroque style with elements of classicism. A luxurious box has been preserved in the church, which was intended for the dukes of Courland.

The unique treasure of the church is the world's largest undeveloped mechanical organ. It was built by one of the best European craftsmen of that time, Heinrich Andreas Concius. The instrument has 131 registers, four keyboards and over 7000 pipes. The organ is played during services; and the International Organ Music Festival is held annually in September. With preliminary applications, a presentation of the organ or a small concert is possible.
