	The Liepaja Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity	The church was built between 1742 and 1578 after a design by J.K. Dorn and for the needs of the local German congregation. The 55 metre steeple was completed only in 1866. The façade and interior of the church are in the style of late Baroque and Classicism (with elegant Rococo elements inside the church). The church is known for the organ that was built by H.A. Koncius between 1773 and 1780. Since a reconstruction in 1885, the instrument has more than 7,000 pipes, 131 registers and four manuals. It is suggested that it is the largest mechanical organ in the world, and its sound is just wonderful. Visitors can visit the church, examine the organ and climb the steeple.
	The Kuldiga Administrative District Museum	On the banks of the Venta River is a treasure of wooden architecture – the so-called Bangerts Villa, which relates to romantic stories and legends and was recently restored. It is said that a man known as Captain Bangerts bought the villa as a gift to present to his Parisian bride. The Kuldīga Administrative District Museum has been in the building since 1940. Since reconstruction, unique wall paintings and other interior design details have been restored, and the flat of the Bangerts family allows people to see how wealthy residents of the city lived in the early 20th century. Also on display are some of the sets of playing cards that have been collected by Jānis Mētra.
