=== Art Nouveau === [[File:Lielā iela 5 (Liepāja).jpg|thumb|Building on 5 Lielā Street. Architect: Ludwig Melville]] Liepāja is home to examples of the Art Nouveau style of architecture on a European scale. There are dozens of Art Nouveau buildings in the city, which in absolute numbers is more than in other European cities. Graudu Street is almost entirely defined by Art Nouveau along its entire length.<ref name="building.lv">{{Cite web |date=2013-10-29 |title=Jūgendstils kā Liepājas arhitektūras īstā rota |url=https://building.lv/raksts/Jūgendstils-kā-Liepājas-arhitektūras-īstā-rota |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=building.lv |language=lv}}</ref> Most of the buildings are built in the restrained and laconic style of Northern National Romanticism.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jūgendstils |url=https://www.liepaja.lv/jugendstils/ |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=Jūgendstils |language=lv}}</ref> Paul Max Bertchy designed several Art Nouveau buildings, but also significant are those by Theodor Max Bertchy (Bertchy junior), Ludwig Melville, Charles Carr, Lars Sonke, Pauls Kampe, Adolf Kucner, Gustav Janicek, William Losow, Max Kuhn, Alexander Zehrensen and [[Vasily Kosyakov]].
