Do you know where the famous Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant is buried? In the Cathedral in Kaliningrad.
It was founded in the fourteenth century. During World War II, the building was badly damaged. The walls survived, but the fire destroyed the entire interior. The cathedral was in ruins for many years. Work on its cleaning and restoration began in 1972-1974. Before that, the building was also rebuilt, new towers were erected.
The walls of the cathedral were painted by both unknown artists and representatives of the school of the outstanding German painter Albrecht Dürer. There is also a beautiful organ there. In 1718-1721 it was replaced by a more powerful one. Today it is considered the largest in Russia.
There are Lutheran and Orthodox chapels at the cathedral. There is also an academic concert hall and a museum of Immanuel Kant.
In addition, the adjacent open-air square regularly hosts music festivals and fairs. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the cathedral every year.
