Telšiai Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Telšiai, Lithuania
The Cathedral of St. Anthony of Padua stands on Insula hill with its rectangular layout, single tower, and three-wall apse made of red brick.
The construction of the brick cathedral began in 1762, replacing a wooden church established in 1624 by Deputy Chancellor of Lithuania Paweł Stefan Sapieha.
The cathedral functions as the main religious center for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Telšiai and contains the remains of three notable Lithuanian bishops.
The interior space features a modern organ with 22 registers, installed by Czech craftsman Otto Kratokvil in 1938 for religious services and musical events.
The cathedral contains the only two-story altar found in Lithuanian churches, along with seven altars created by artist Jurgis Mažeika.
