Holy Trinity Cathedral

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Anne is the oldest church in Liepaja. The building dates back to 1587 and the tower was built between 1688 and 1693. The building and the towers were rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. The church organ, built in 1913, is the third largest in Latvia.

Liepājas Catholic Cathedral was first built in stone in 1747 as a parish church dedicated to St. Joseph, but as the town grew, the number of Catholics increased and the old church became narrow. The church was therefore enlarged from 1893 to 1911, in brick and in the neo-Romanesque style. It was not until 1938 that the church became a cathedral.

This church, constructed in the 17th-century Russian style, was built as the cathedral church for the Russian navy stationed in Liepaja. Tsar Nicolas II himself was present at the cornerstone laying ceremony in 1901. During the first World War, all of the church's moveable items were transferred to Russia, and the church was converted to a Lutheran church after Latvia's independence in 1918. During Soviet occupation, this section of the city of Liepaja was sectioned off as a secret Naval quarter, where only the military was allowed. During this time, the church was used as a gymnasium and a movie theatre. Today the church is operated by the Latvian Orthodox Church, under the Russian Orthodox church.
