Church of St. Catherine, Late Baroque church in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The Church of St. Catherine features two towers, a single nave with a narrower presbytery, and a semi-circular apse built entirely of brick material.
Jan Karol Chodkiewicz, the Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, founded the church in 1618 for Benedictine nuns, with construction completed in 1632.
The church transformed into a concert venue with 396 seats in the main nave, hosting classical music performances, theater productions, and poetry readings.
The Church of St. Catherine administration office operates at Vilniaus Street 30 in Vilnius, providing guided tours when no events are scheduled.
The restoration completed in 2006 made this church the first religious building in Vilnius fully renovated after Lithuania regained independence.
