Church of St. Michael, Vilnius, Catholic baroque church in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The Church of St. Michael features a whitewashed facade with twin towers, tunnel vaults, and a high altar made from different types of marble.
The Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lew Sapieha, commissioned the church between 1594 and 1597 as a family mausoleum, completing construction in 1604.
The Church Heritage Museum within the building displays the treasury of Vilnius Cathedral and presents educational programs about Lithuanian church history and sacral art.
Located at Šv Mykolo gatvė 9, the church stands near Vilnius Cathedral, the Palace of the Grand Dukes, and Vilnius University in the historic center.
An iron weathervane from the 18th century depicting Saint Michael the Archangel defeating the devil decorates the top of the church belfry.
