The Königsberg cathedral was first mentionned in the historical documents in 1333. Probably, the building of cathedral begon few years before this date.
Many of the Königsberg university (Albertina) professors were burried in Königsberg kathedral, including Immanuel Kant.
During the bombardments of World War II cathedral was heavily damaged. It was not restored after a war, because Sovyet authority was not interested in the pre-war history of Kaliningad. Only fourty yers later, in the early ninetis, the resoration works were started.
The cathedral was restored as an cultural center, with the concert hall for classical and religious music, museum and two chapels: Orthodox and Lutheran.
