St. Paraskeva Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Vilnius, Lithuania
St. Paraskeva is an Eastern Orthodox church in Vilnius constructed of brick with Byzantine Revival features. The building displays a traditional Orthodox cross layout with a central dome and bell tower, while the interior contains religious icons and ornamental details.
This church was founded in the 14th century and was among the first stone buildings constructed in Vilnius during that period. It was later renovated and rebuilt in the Byzantine Revival style during the 19th century.
The church serves as a place of Orthodox worship in Vilnius and remains active for religious services and prayer today. Visitors can observe the living traditions of Eastern liturgy being practiced within its walls.
The church is easily accessible by public transport and sits near the city center. It is best to check opening hours beforehand, as active religious services may affect visitor access to certain areas.
In 1705, an important historical figure was baptized within these walls, a member of a family that later contributed significantly to Russian literature. This event connects the church to the broader history of Russia and Lithuania.
