    (Translated by Google) There are many reasons to visit this place. The first is the oldest Catholic church in Vilnius. Second, you will see the unique work of an unknown sculptor, The Expectant Mother of God, called the White Virgin. Third, there is the unique St. Icon of Damian, St. Jadwiga’s altar, triptych, and other gadgets with many meanings and meanings, the exploration of which begins as soon as you see it. :) Go and admire. :) (Original) Yra daug priežasčių, kodėl reikia aplankyti šią vieta. Pirmoji, - tai yra seniausia katalikų bažnyčia Vilniuje. Antra, - joje pamatysite unikalų nežinomo skulptoriaus darbą Besilaukiančią Dievo Motiną, vadinamą "Baltąja Mergele". Trečia, - ten yra ir unikali Šv. Damijano ikona, Šv. Jadvygos altorius, triptikas ir kiti dalykėliai, turintys daugybę prasmių ir reikšmių, kurių tyrinėjimas prasideda vos tik pamačius. :) Eikit ir grožėkitės. :)

    This is one of the oldest churches in Vilnius, and in Lithuania in general. During the soviet period it was transformed into stock and archive, so very much damaged. But restoration works started and resurection of the church is going on 👍. By the way, there is a magical statue of White Madonna, who protects pregnant women and families

    (Translated by Google) One of the oldest churches in Vilnius looks very much like a repair and restoration inside. Franciscans came to Vilnius during pagan times and wanted to accustom everyone to the Catholic faith. In 1387, they built a church for them or for themselves, in 1533 it burned for the first time, in 1737 and 48 several more times, and after repairs in 1764 it is still standing. In 1812, the French wanted to make a hospital in the monastery, and a granary inside the church. It seems that over time the church became worse and worse, in 1864 the Russian troops came, closing and dismantling the bell tower, which had withstood all the fires. Then the Soviets began to nationalize the premises, there was an archive, a city prison, a pawn shop, a weapons warehouse, a library, and in 1998 the church was handed over to the first Franciscan owners! Now some chapels here have been restored and work is underway, we managed to get inside while the workers were working and no one closed the door for us. One of the most interesting finds was a hand with a grenade. I never found out what it means, but it looks very nice. (Original) Один з найстаріших храмів Вільнюсю виглядає всередині дуже по ремонтно-реставраційному. Ще за часів язичництва в Вільнюс прийшли францисканці і хотіли привчити всіх до католицької віри. 1387року побудували для них або самі собі костел, в 1533він горів вперше, в 1737 і 48 ще кілька разів, а після ремонту 1764 року стоїть до тепер. В 1812році французи захотіли зробити в монастирі госпіталь, а всередині костелу зерносховище. Таке враження, що з часом костелу ставало все гірше і гірше, в 1864 році прийшли російські війська, закривши і розібравши дзвіницю, яка вистояла всі пожари. Далі совєти почали націоналізовувати приміщення, тут був архів, міська тюрми, ломбард, склад зброї, бібліотека і аж в 1998році костел передали першим власникам-францисканцям! Зараз тут деякі каплиці відреставровані і йде робота, нам вдалось зайди всередину під час роботи працівників і ніхто нам не закривав дверей. Однією з найцікавіших знахідок була рука з гранатою. що це означає я так і не знайшов, але виглядає дуже гарно.

    One of the oldest church in Vilnius) By 1392 it includes the first written mention of the church in the historical documents. A quiet and comfortable place in the centre of Vilnius Old Town.

    Vilniaus Švč.Mergelės Marijos ėmimo į dangų bažnyčia-viena seniausių miesto statynių,jo istorija siekia 14a.Dabar vyksta archeologiniai tyrimai aplink bažnyčią,viduje tęsiasi restauravimo darbai. Galima pasigrožėti žvaigždiniu skliautu, mėlynaisiais vargonais, Baltaja Madona ir kt.Bažnyčioje yra likę senosios freskos, tai dar labiau sustiprina bažnyčios grožį ir išskirtinumą.

    Very old church Catholic Church in Vilnius with lots of history. It is currently under renovation, but it is open for prayers and public visits. The relic of St. Hedwig Andegavin was placed in the church since 2010. There is also a beautiful blue organ in this church. Attended mass here on 3 January 2024, it was a wonderful experience.

    A magnificent church, despite the fact that it is under renovation, the interior is beautiful and tidy. It is considered one of the oldest in Vilnius, but it is beautiful in its own way

    (Translated by Google) "Archaeological excavations have shown that the place on Trakų Street, where the Franciscan Convent Church stands, is one of the earliest Catholic places in Vilnius." The church is being restored and its history is interesting! (Original) "Archeologiniais tyrimais nustatyta, kad vieta Trakų gatvėje, kur stovi pranciškonų konventualų bažnyčia, yra viena ankstyviausių katalikiškų Vilniaus vietų." Bažnyčia restauruojama ir įdomi savo istorija!

    (Translated by Google) After years of non-existence in Vilnius, the Franciscans regained the church and now it is slowly renewing its destruction. (Original) Po latach niebytu w wilnie franciszkanie odzyskali kościół i teraz powoli trwa odnawianie zniszczeń.

  • 1/5 Aldona P. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) All spaces in the church must be locked, as animals and birds may enter. Secular events are not suitable. The church serves God, not a cafe with a grandmother’s note. Students are heard all over the street. (Original) Bažnyčioje visos erdvės turi būti užrakintos, nes gali įeiti gyvūnai, paukščiai. Netinka pasaulietiniai renginiai. Bažnyčia tarnauja Dievui, o ne kavinei su močiutės užrašu. Visoje gatvėje girdomi studentai.
