Liepāja Saint Joseph Roman Catholic Cathedral

The cathedral features rounded arches, symmetrical towers, and traditional brick construction that exemplifies the Romanesque Revival architectural style of religious buildings.

Established in 1747 as a small stone church, the structure underwent major reconstruction and received cathedral status through a papal bull in 1937.

The cathedral serves as the primary religious center for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Liepāja, hosting regular services and religious ceremonies throughout the year.

Located at Rakstvežu iela 13 in central Liepāja, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural details.

The cathedral stands as the sole Romanesque Revival Catholic cathedral in Latvia and received national monument status for its architectural significance in 2009.
