Religious, Spiritual sights in Western Latvia

1. A Map

   Holy Trinity Church

   • Liepāja, Latvia
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   Built between 1742 and 1758, the baroque-style Holy Trinity Church has a dazzling gilded rococo interior. Its centrepiece is its fabulous organ, at one time the world's largest, boasting more than 7000 pipes, 131 registers and four manuals. For a small fee, the church caretaker will escort you up the myriad of creaky wooden steps to the clock tower, where fabulous city views await.

2. St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church

   • Ventspils, Latvia
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   There is little to see or do in Old Town except wander its streets and absorb the 18th-century architecture. Pils iela is the main street, cutting across Old Town in an east-west direction. Peering across Brīvibas iela is the neo-Byzantine St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, built in 1901 and crowned with five onion domes.

3. St Nicholas Evangelical Lutheran Church

   • Ventspils, Latvia
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   Walking west from St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, along Pils iela, you can detour south down Tirgus iela to Rātslaukums, a pretty cobbled square overlooked by St Nicholas Evangelical Lutheran Church, built in 1835.
