Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed, Baroque brick church in Old Town, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The Church of St. Joseph the Betrothed featured traditional Baroque elements with detailed brick construction, marking its place in Vilnius architectural heritage.
Stefan Pac, Vice-Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, established the church in 1668, which remained active until its demolition in 1877.
The church maintained strong connections with Carmelite religious practices and served as a central point for Catholic ceremonies in Vilnius Old Town.
The former location of the church corresponds to the current market square at coordinates 54.675833°N, 25.285556°E in Arklių Street.
Following orders from the tsar, workers dismantled the entire church structure to create space for a market that continues to operate today.
