St. Nikolai Orthodox Cathedral

Liepājas Sv. Nikolaja pareizticīgo jūras katedrāle

An impressive church in a depressing place. Just nearby Soviet-style apartment buildings surround the church, making it very surreal and contrasting. It was used as a cinema and a gym for soldiers during the soviet occupation years. Nowadays, the St. Nicholas maritime cathedral is a church again and the sound of its bells can be heard from afar.
