Organ Hall

This is how the most important place in Kaliningrad is also called. 3D tour of the Cathedral shows this famous place. This is due to the fact that the grave of the most famous resident of the city is located here. The history of the creation of the Cathedral is rooted in the deep past.

In 1327, the bishop of the island of Kneiphof (now the island of Kant) decided to build a fortress church to protect the population and faith from wars and raids. Construction on the swampy terrain was difficult, and only after 50 years the Cathedral acquired northern Gothic features. From 1380, parishioners were able to visit it, and the decoration and addition of frescoes took place until the 1640s.

In the 16th century, the Königsberg University and the Walenrod Library were founded here. In the same period, a "professor's tomb" appeared here. Even now people come here to honor the memory of Kant. You can do it remotely using the spherical panorama of the Cathedral.

During the Second World War, as a result of the bombing of British aircraft, both towers of the Cathedral burned down. By 1954, it was restored and supplemented with a dodecagonal tower, where the bells were placed. By participating in the 3D panorama, visitors have the opportunity to take beautiful photos and feel the effect of being in the Cathedral.

Currently, the Cathedral is a center of culture, and its central hall is a concert hall. Here sounds a unique organ, which has no analogues either in Russia or in Europe. The organ has 122 registers and 6031 pipes (large organ) and 2224 pipes (small).

The unique acoustic system allows you to bring the sound directly to the listeners and conduct multi-channel recording. By visiting the virtual tour of the Cathedral (True Virtual Tours), tourists can, without leaving their homes, see the organ itself and the concert hall.
