St.Anne's Church is the oldest church in the city, mentioned for the first time in documents from 1508.The church itself and the spire have been rebuilt several times. The author of the last reconstruction of the church in the 19th century is the best Liepāja's architect of all times, Max Paul Bertschy. One of the most precious valuables of the church is the altar created in 1697 by a wood-carver Nicolaus Söffrens. This 9.7 m high and 5.8 m wide baroque style masterpiece is one of the most outstanding examples of art from that period in Eastern Europe. St.Anne's Church is also proud of the organ which was built according to the sketches of the outstanding Latvian composer Alfrēds Kalniņš and is the third largest church organ in Latvia, after those of Holy Trinity Cathedral in Liepāja and Riga's Dome Cathedral. You can also climb the tower and have a panoramic view over Liepāja.
