A beautiful church, built between 1668 and 1675. Its interior is entirely white. It's a bit outside the old town, but the climb is worth it.

ChurchDonationContactsGalleryInformation for PilgrimsLietuvių English Polski MENU History Back The Church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul is located in Antakalnis on a site which once used to be the place of pagan cult. According to one legend the church dates back to the XIV th century. In 1638 a monastery of the Canons Regular of the Lateran was built next to it which therefore was closed in 1864 by Russians. The current buildings, namely the church and the monastery emerged after the Muscovite invasian at the begining of the XVII th century. In 1668 the construction of the new church was began by the Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and governor of Vilnius Michal Kazimierz Pac who as it is believed commissioned to build it in gratitude for God for personal salvation during the war with Moscow. The paintings hanging in the presbitery depicting a devout believer are the following: a formal portrait of the founder Michal Kazimierz Pac, a painting of Saint Mary Magdalene of Pazzi, a painting depicting Archangel Michael, and a painting of crusified Jesus. It is said that he last painting (from the previously mentioned) was taken with Pac to wars.

The Liepų alėja, an avenue of small lime trees that stretches between the park's event stage and the 7.5-hectare Vingio section of the Vilnius University Botanical Garden, is simply breathtaking. The avenue, which was declared a protected botanical natural heritage site in 1996, was created on the site of a former manor house. A summer spa house was built here in 1857 on the initiative of the military governor of Vilnius, V. Nazimov, and the large park created at that time still gives the place a special flair today. For cyclists and nature lovers alike, this location offers a perfect opportunity to experience Vilnius' urban culture in a relaxed and natural environment.
