Christ's Resurrection Church, Modernist Catholic church in Žaliakalnis district, Kaunas, Lithuania.

The white monolithic church features two towers, with the main tower reaching 70 meters high on the elevated Žaliakalnis Hill location.

Construction began in 1934 under architect Kārlis Reisons, but Soviet authorities converted the unfinished building into a radio factory until Lithuania regained independence.

The structure incorporates Art Deco elements and Lithuanian folk patterns, representing the architectural innovations of Kaunas during its period as temporary capital.

The church accommodates 5,000 people, includes a columbarium and museum, and provides elevator access to a rooftop observation deck with city views.

The cornerstone of this largest basilical church in the Baltic States contains material transported from Jerusalem's Mount of Olives.
