About
St. Casimir's Church stands on Didžioji Street in Vilnius, Lithuania, at number 34. It is known locally as Šv. Kazimiero bažnyčia, and it is the oldest Baroque church in the city. The Jesuits built it in the early 17th century, and it is dedicated to Saint Casimir, the patron saint of Lithuania.
What a visit offers
The church makes a quiet stop for anyone walking through the old town. Its Baroque form is the main thing to look for, and it gives a clear sense of how the city's religious architecture developed. Because it is a working church, visitors are asked to keep to a respectful pace and voice while inside.
