St Nicholas Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:37:08

Lithuania’s oldest church, this red-brick Gothic pile was built by German Christians around 1320, when the country was still pagan. From 1901 to 1939 it was the only church in Vilnius where Mass was held in Lithuanian. It's remarkably well preserved (bar the addition of baroque features in recent centuries) and definitely worth a visit.
