Churches and Cemeteries of Lithuania

Churches in Lithuania are not just places of pilgrimage but also living monuments, quite accurately and profoundly reflecting the history of the region and nation. Many small towns are spotted with domes of cathedrals, churches and temples. Almost every chapel is a real work of art. All of this is spiritual heritage belonging to people of all confessions. The art of Romantic poets Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Slowacki connected memories of Vilnius of Polish, Lithuanian and Belarusian peoples forever; the heart of the Polish Marshal Jozef Pilsudski is buried in Vilnius Rasos Cemetery.

It is impossible to visit all holy places in Lithuania in just a few days. However, we suggest at least glimpsing at the sacramental heritage. You will visit the most beautiful churches of Vilnius: Church of the Holy Mother of God, St. Anne’s Church, Church of Ss. Peter and Paul, St. Michael’s Church that houses the Museum of History of Religion, Bernardine Church – one of the biggest Gothic churches in Vilnius (church, yard, basement); you will also visit Antakalnis Cemetery, Rasos Cemetery and Rokantiškės Cemetery.
