St. Nicholas Church, Vilnius, Gothic church in Old Town, Lithuania.

The brick structure of St. Nicholas Church extends 15.75 meters in length and 13 meters in width, featuring characteristic Gothic architectural elements.

Established in 1301, St. Nicholas Church stands as the oldest surviving church in Lithuania, with its first written documentation appearing in 1387.

Between 1901 and 1939, this church held the distinction of being the only place in Vilnius where religious services were conducted in Lithuanian.

The church remains open for regular services and provides guided tours that detail its architectural features and historical development through the centuries.

During World War II, when Vilnius Cathedral closed, St. Nicholas Church temporarily assumed cathedral status and responsibilities for the local community.
