Liepaja Naval Orthodox Cathedral of St. Nicholas

Liepaja St. Nicholas Naval Orthodox Cathedral is located in Latvia. It took 3 years to build, from 1900. The consecration took place with the presence of Nicholas II and his family. During World War II, the temple was occupied by German troops and plundered. St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral was restored in the 1990s. As in other Russian Orthodox churches, women are encouraged to wear headscarves, shorts and beachwear are not allowed. The cathedral is faced with granite and sandstone, the walls are lined with red bricks. The gilded central dome is surrounded by four smaller ones. A bell tower is located above the central entrance to the temple. The central altar, like the entire temple, was consecrated in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker, whom sailors have long considered their heavenly patron. The four pediments of the cathedral are decorated with inscriptions from the Holy Scriptures in the Church Slavonic language and icons from the golden mosaic.
