Church of the Holy Name of the Virgin Mary, Aukštoji Panemunė, Catholic church in Aukštoji Panemunė, Lithuania
The religious building features a stone construction with a central nave, two side aisles, and a prominent bell tower facing the Niemon River.
The original stone church was constructed between 1762 and 1763 under the guidance of Simanui Siruciui during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth period.
The church holds regular Lithuanian Catholic services and maintains religious traditions that have been practiced in the region for multiple generations.
Visitors can reach the church by taking public transportation from central Kaunas or crossing the permanent bridge that connects both sides of the river.
The church stands at a location where Napoleon's forces crossed the Niemon River during the 1812 invasion campaign against Kaunas.
