Church of the Holy Cross , Kaunas, Baroque church in central Kaunas, Lithuania
The Church of the Holy Cross exhibits a Latin cross layout with two towers and vertical proportions decorated with triangle pediments at its facades.
The Carmelite monks purchased land near the Nemunas River in 1706, leading to the construction of this religious building consecrated in 1720.
The church interior contains seventeen vault compositions painted by Tyrolean artist John Kerle in 1898, depicting scenes from Jesus Christ's life.
The church conducts regular religious services in multiple languages, including Polish, Spanish, Latin, and Lithuanian throughout the week.
During the cholera outbreak of 1831, the Russian authorities converted the first floor of the monastery into a medical facility for patients.
