Church of the Holy Archangel Michael in Viļāni

The Church of the Holy Archangel Michael features nine altars, with Corinthian columns adorning the central altar inscribed with the phrase Quie ut Deus.

Baron Miķelis Riks initiated the construction of this stone church in 1753, signing the foundational document for the church and monastery on November 18, 1777.

The church maintains its position as a religious center where local residents participate in traditional ceremonies, masses, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The church, situated at Kultūras laukums 6, welcomes visitors who can explore various chapels, including the Chapel of Candles and Saint Theresa Chapel.

An 18th-century wooden crucifix on the right altar has generated numerous reports of unexplained healings, making the church a destination for pilgrims.
