The cathedral was constructed between 1742 and 1758 in the Baroque-style with Classicism features. The cathedral’s dominating feature remains its Baroque-style decorative brilliance and charm, including light and shadow contrasts. The cathedral interior is characterized by its Roccoco features and luxurious furnishings with wood carvings and gold plating. The Trinity Cathedral once housed the congregation of the local German Lutheran community. The Duke or Courland’s private box stands to this day on the second floor of the church.
