Church of St. Michael the Archangel and St. John the Baptist, Jieznas

Church of St. Michael the Archangel and St. John the Baptist, Jieznas, Baroque church in Jieznas, Lithuania.

The church features two towers of different heights, with a rectangular layout and a symmetrical entrance leading to an underground crypt.

Built in the second half of the 17th century under Steponas Kristupas Pacas, the church underwent expansion and decoration with frescoes between 1768 and 1772.

The central altar displays a gold-framed reproduction of Saint Michael the Archangel, painted by N. Silvanavičius in 1897.

Religious services include Sunday Eucharistic celebrations, catechism classes for children, and special masses during annual religious observances.

The church contains the only example in Lithuania of a crypt accessible through symmetrical staircases, with an altar bearing a red-draped figure.
