Church of St. Raphael in Vilnius, Baroque church in Vilnius, Lithuania

The Church of St. Raphael features two symmetrical towers and a brick exterior, with ornate decorations adorning its walls and cornices along the Neris River.

Completed in 1702, this religious building initially provided sanctuary for Jesuit monks before serving as a military warehouse during subsequent historical periods.

The high altar displays a notable painting of St. Raphael the Archangel, while a nearby shrine contains a statue of Christ carrying the Cross.

The church maintains regular religious services and community events throughout the year, welcoming both worshippers and visitors interested in architecture.

A shrine near the church was built during the Great Northern War plague outbreak, marking a period of significant hardship in Vilnius history.
