Our Lady of Vilnius Church, Catholic church in Hudson Square, Manhattan, United States.

The yellow-brick religious structure stood at 568-570 Broome Street, incorporating Renaissance Revival architecture with Gothic and Romanesque design elements.

Lithuanian immigrants who escaped mandatory service in the Imperial Russian Army constructed the church in 1910, investing 25,000 dollars in the project.

The building functioned as a Lithuanian national parish church, offering services in Latin while including songs and sermons in Lithuanian language.

The construction of the Holland Tunnel near the church location led many Lithuanian families to relocate to the Bronx and surrounding suburbs.

The Aeolian Company installed a specialized organ in the church, featuring electro-pneumatic action with ten distinct stops across two manuals.
