It might possibly be Rococo. I find it hard to distinguish between them

For some yet undiscovered reason, first word coming to my mind was
"baroque", too (which makes it a surprise to me that anyone else would
agree, because I have not much of an idea what "baroque" actually /is/).
The building seems late-gothic to me though.

They call it a Pipe Organ.

It's even more impressive in the flesh. What you can't see is that to
the left, there's a whole heap more pipes. And round the corner is the
Bourdon rank; looks more like a set of air vents than a musical
instrument. Friggin' huge things!

It's not called a 32-foot stop for nothing. ;-)

Or at least, an organ facade. (I wonder if any of those pipes speak...)

OK, take a look at this:
http://tinyurl.com/nuktqb
and this:
http://tinyurl.com/l4xg4u
Note the pointed arches, the vaulted roof, the multiplicity of vertical
elements, the heavily ribbed columns, the geometric designs of circles
and epicycloids, the curves and diagonals, the general "encrusted" look
of the curving...
Now if *I* were looking for a way to describe all this, I'd choose
either just "ornate", or probably "gothic". But I have no idea whether
that's technically correct...

First was gothic, then was baroque, then rococo, each getting more ornate
over time. Check wikipedia.

Well no one word, or even many words, could *describe* these. What you
were asking
us to do is to *classify* them. I think "Gothic" is the right general
classification for these two,
but an expert might have another more precise classification ( Wikipedia
is unlikely
to make us experts).
I would call the organ, "Baroque" but I'm very fuzzy about
classifications or architectural
styles. I would call all three "impressive" but that's not really a
description or a classification
but more like "O Wow!".
I don't know about the woman in blue in the lady chapel photo.

"High gothic" would hit the nail square on the head AFAIK.

Yeah, the organ looks gothic or gothic revival to me.
Pierced fretwork above and below is typical of gothic furniture.
Baroque usually has less of the fretwork, and is curvier.
It probably was done by someone familiar with both styles
though. The altar and the windows are definitely gothic.
