StCasimirChurch1 * Saint Casimir Church - named after the patron saint of Lithuania, Prince Casimir Jagiellon, and founded in 1604 by the Jesuits, St. Casimir’s is the oldest Baroque church in Vilnius. It’s long been a favourite subject of persecution and abuse, featuring among its many outrages Napoleon’s troops use of the building as a grain store in 1812, its conversion into the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas by the Russians some 20 years later (the Russians then turned it into a cathedral in 1864, the same year they banned the Lithuanian language in the Latin script) to its temporary use as a Protestant temple by the occupying German army (1915-1917). Perhaps most shocking was the Soviet’s innovative application of the building, turning it as they did into a museum of atheism. Fear not however, for it’s once again in the safe hands of its rightful owners, and exquisitely beautiful both inside and out. * 1971 x 2816 * (915KB)
