    This is the oldest surviving Catholic church in Lithuania dating from the 14th century. From 1901 to 1939 this was the only church in Vilnius where services were held in Lithuanian.

    Amazing, good to have brothers in Christ everywhere, to the ends of the earth. Jesus saved me from a dreary trap of perpetual sin. I hope all people are found by Jesus as I was.

    Nice brick building church. It’s active so tourists can bother locals. Not much to see but quaint local church. There’s better cathedral not far from there.

    The oldest brick church in Vilnius) It was built in 14th century before the Christianisation of Lithuania. The church is located in the Old Town. It looks rather modest but has a special mysterious atmosphere. A nice interior decoration without pathos and extravagance. Must visit)

    (Translated by Google) It would be good if those bridal parties were constantly having alcohol at the Church's sanctuary. (Original) Viskas butu gerai, jei ne tie vestuvininku nuolat rengiami baliai su alkoholiu Baznycios sventoriuje.

  • 5/5 Monje S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A spiritual place. Elevated. But there is one strange point. If you stand there and bow down to St. Nicholas - Exhibition Behind St. Christopher. If you bow to Christopher, you show Michael the butt. You feel awkward somehow. Although, on the other hand, there are not too many saints ... (Original) Dvasinė vieta. Pakilinga. Bet ten yra vienas keistas taškas. Jei jame stovi ir nusilenki Šv. Mikalojui - parodai užpakalį Šv. Kristoforui. Jei nusilenki Kristoforui, rodai užpakalį Mikalojui. Nejaukiai kažkaip jautiesi. Nors, kita vertus, šventųjų perdaug nebūna...

    (Translated by Google) Here I was baptized :) here is a big magical icon of St. Michael (Santa Claus) ... l. An interesting auditorium protruding from the wall. Cosiness, rare in us, due to the low ceiling. Here you will come to terms with Lithuanianness, because it is the only Lithuanian church ever. Behind it is the diocese, so it is the center of Lithuanian Christianity, not the Cathedral :) (Original) Čia mane krikštyjo :) čia didelė stebuklinga šv.Mikalojaus (Santa Klauso) ikona... l.įdomi iš sienos išlendanti klausykla. Jaukumas, retas mūsuose, dėl žemų lubų. Čia susitaikysi su lietuviškumu, nes tai vienintelė visad lietuviška bažnytėlė buvusi. Už jos - vyskupija, taigi va jis , lietuviškos krikščionybės centras, o ne Katedra :)

    Good church

  • 5/5 Vyacheslav N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) "A sample of primitive, but cozy Gothic, with a rhythmic pediment, mysterious, enchanting with peace and quiet. When you enter inside, under the low star-shaped vaults, it seems that you have fallen into a casket or a case. The church was first mentioned during the time of Gedimin's grandchildren, but even then it was a stone and old building "Tomas Venclova," Vilnius city in Europe " (Original) "Образец примитивной, но уютной готики, с ритмичным фронтоном, таинственный, очаровывающий покоем и тишиной. Когда входишь вовнутрь, под низкие звездчатые своды, кажется, что ты попал в шкатулку или в футляр. Костел впервые упомянут при внуках Гедимина, но уже тогда он был каменным и старой постройки" Томас Венцлова, "Вильнюс город в Европе"

  • 5/5 Audrius B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) THE OLDEST VILNIUS CHURCH, first mentioned in written sources in the year of Lithuanian baptism - in 1387, was established for the craftsmen and merchants of the city of the Hazas Union who were invited to Lithuania in the time of Gediminas. This is evidenced by the traditional St. the title of Bishop Mikalojus Mirietis - guardian of travelers, merchants, craftsmen, prisoners, children. It was built in 1382 - 1387. (Original) TAI PATI SENIAUSIA VILNIAUS BAŽNYČIA, pirmą kartą rašytiniuose šaltiniuose paminėta Lietuvos krikšto metais – 1387-aisiais, įsteigta dar Gedimino laikais į Lietuvą pakviestiems Hazos sąjungos miesto amatininkams ir pirkliams. Tai liudija ir Vidurio Europos regionui tradicinis šv. vyskupo Mikalojaus Miriečio – keliautojų, pirklių, amatininkų, belaisvių, vaikų globėjo – titulas. Išmūryta ji 1382 – 1387 m.
