Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Simnas, Renaissance church in Simnas, Lithuania.
The church features a Latin cross layout with a high central nave supported by three pairs of large stone pillars connected through arches.
Built in 1520 by Jonas Jonavičius Zabžezinskis, the Grand Marshall of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the church underwent substantial modifications during the 18th century.
The church holds numerous religious artworks, including a privileged painting of the Virgin Mary and an organ created by Lithuanian craftsman Jonas Geralevičius in 1911.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and underwent extensive restoration work between 2008 and 2010 to preserve its structural elements and artistic heritage.
This religious structure stands as Lithuania's only Renaissance church constructed with a Latin cross floor plan, featuring six burial crypts beneath its foundation.
