Old Believers Church in Vilnius, Eastern Orthodox church in Naujininkai district, Vilnius, Lithuania.

The neoclassical church features a traditional iconostasis along the back wall instead of an altar, following Old Believer architectural principles.

Constructed in 1830, this church provided a spiritual center for Russian Old Believers who fled religious persecution following the Orthodox Church reforms.

Services in this church extend up to three hours, led by community members rather than ordained priests, maintaining pre-reform Orthodox traditions.

The church remains an active religious center, holding regular services and gatherings for the Old Believer community in Vilnius.

Unlike standard Orthodox churches, this building maintains separate worship spaces and practices strict traditional rituals dating from before 1666.
