Church of St. Matthew, Anykščiai, Neo-Gothic church building in Anykščiai, Lithuania.
The Church of St. Matthew features two red brick towers reaching 79 meters high, making it the tallest religious structure in Lithuania.
The original wooden church from 1500 underwent multiple reconstructions after fires, with the current brick structure completed between 1899 and 1909.
The church interior contains fifteen stained glass windows created by artist Anortė Mackelaitė between 1971 and 1986.
Visitors can climb 186 steps to reach an observation deck in the tower for views across Anykščiai and the Šventoji River valley.
The church towers were deliberately shortened from 84 to 79 meters during World War I to prevent their use as military targets.
