Holy Trinity Cathedral, Liepāja

The Holy Trinity Cathedral is a church building in downtown Liepāja defined by its prominent tower. It displays late Baroque features with classical elements and has long shaped the city skyline with its towering form.

Construction began in the middle of the 18th century and was completed within a few decades. The tower was later heightened, showing changes made over more than a century of development.

The name reflects the Christian Trinity concept, and the building shows traces of different faiths woven into its architectural journey. Today the interior spaces embody the Lutheran heritage that has shaped the spiritual life of the city for centuries.

Visiting works best on sunny days when the facade is clearly visible. The tower can be climbed but features narrow stairs and requires sturdy shoes and basic fitness.

Inside sits a large musical instrument from the late 18th century that still functions in its original form. This instrument comprises thousands of individual pipes and is played during special occasions.
