Church of the Assumption, Palanga, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Palanga, Lithuania.
The brick church features a central 24-meter tower with a spire, stepped buttresses, pointed-arched windows, and an octagonal apse at the presbytery.
Construction of the current church began in 1897 under Swedish architect Karl Eduard Strandmann, replacing a wooden structure that had stood since 1540.
The interior contains three marble altars from Toulouse, including a central altar with a 17th-century image of Mary Mother of God.
The church tower observation platform welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 09:00 to 17:30 and Sundays from 13:30 to 17:30.
The church incorporates eighteen different types of profiled bricks and features flying buttresses, which are uncommon elements in Lithuanian religious architecture.
