Church of St. George, Gothic Catholic church in Old Town, Kaunas, Lithuania.
The Church of St. George features tall spires, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults, displaying characteristics of Late Gothic and Brick Gothic architecture.
The church's construction began in 1487 when Stanislovas Sendzivojevičius donated land, replacing an earlier wooden structure with a brick building completed in 1502.
