Church of St. Francis Xavier, Baroque church in Old Town Kaunas, Lithuania
The Saint Francis Xavier Church displays twin bell towers with domes and cross finials on its main facade, featuring traditional Baroque architectural elements.
Construction of the church began in 1666 under Jesuit supervision, reaching completion in 1720, with its official consecration ceremony taking place in 1722.
The religious structure underwent multiple transformations during the Soviet period, including conversions into a sports hall, sauna facility, and shooting gallery.
The church stands in Town Hall Square, offering regular Catholic services and maintaining its position as an active religious center in Kaunas.
The building holds the distinction of being the first Jesuit church in Kaunas, established after the order created their initial residence in the city in 1642.
