Church of St. Theresa, Baroque church in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania
The Church of St. Theresa presents a symmetrical facade with large volutes, segmented cornices, and intricate windows near the Gate of Dawn.
Stefan Pac initiated the construction of this brick church in response to a fire that destroyed the previous wooden structure, leading to completion in 1650.
The church houses eighteen ceiling murals depicting the life of St. Theresa, along with a grand altar that ranks among the finest in Lithuania.
Located at Aušros Vartų Street 14, the church maintains regular hours for visitors to examine its architectural features and religious artifacts.
The structure stands as the first baroque monument in Lithuania without a tower, featuring instead a square belfry with an angel-shaped weathervane.
