Tytuvėnai Monastery, Franciscan monastery in Tytuvėnai, Lithuania

The monastery complex incorporates a church, dormitory buildings, and gardens spread across multiple structures built in the Baroque architectural style.

Founded in 1614 by the Valavičius family during the Counter-Reformation period, the monastery construction took nearly two decades to complete its main structures.

The monastery walls contain preserved murals and religious artworks that reflect the artistic and spiritual practices of Franciscan monks through centuries.

Visitors can explore the monastery grounds daily, with guided tours available that include access to the church, cloister areas, and the Holy Stairs chapel.

The Holy Stairs chapel, constructed in 1775, requires pilgrims to ascend and descend on their knees as part of religious tradition.
