This is the major Russian Orthodox church in Lithuania and is affiliated with two Orthodox monasteries: The Monastery of the Holy Spirit and the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalen -- the only remaining Orthodox monasteries in Lithuania. Inside the unassuming Baroque-style entrance is a beautiful green and blue chancellery and sanctuary. The surprise when you open the door will take your breath away.

If you want to see many beautiful churches, Vilnius is the place. This church is probably Vilnius’ best surviving example of Early Baroque churches, completed in 1650.

St Anne's Church is a 15th century, Gothic red brick (numerous colors and style of red brick) church that is quite small and sits in front of the much bigger Bernadine Church in similar red brick. This is a must see in Vilnius.

This Baroque-style church was built between 1620 and 1630 during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, the King of Lithuania and Poland. It is one of the most noticeable buildings of the Vilnius Old Town. The rich interior has 18 altars, which all are decorated with paintings, brightly colored sculptures, and gold-colored decorative elements.

ACCESSED ONLY WITH A GUIDED TOUR! Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4 p.m. in English; Monday & Friday at 16.00 in Polish Wednesday & Friday at 16.00 in Russian A usually invisible part of the building, Vilnius Cathedral Crypts presents the history of the temple, the development of the building, and the figures of outstanding merit to the state and Church of Lithuania who are buried there. The exhibition set up in the crypts and corridors introduces the funerary traditions and archaeological finds, and leads to the Royal Mausoleum.
For 5 EUR per person - which is excellent value - we had an hour-long tour of the crypts and resting places of previous Vilnius rulers, kings and queens. Our tour guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable, answered all questions well and went into really great detail. The crypts beneath the Cathedral is definitely somewhere I’d recommend to anyone visiting Vilnius.
