Kaunas Cathedral

Kaunas Cathedral

Kaunas Cathedral (Kaunas Cathedral) is located in Kaunas, Lithuania. Its construction began in 1624 but was damaged during the war in 1655 and was rebuilt in 1667. The rebuilt Kaunas Cathedral reflects Baroque style while retaining the large windows from the 15th-century Gothic period.

Kaunas Cathedral is the oldest church in Kaunas. The Kaunas Cathedral we see today preserves the form it had after its restoration in 1800. The overall structure of the cathedral is white, and stepping inside gives an impression of opulence. The roof is adorned with many murals that are clear and not densely packed. The orange patterns set against the white background are well-balanced without appearing cramped. The tombstone of Motiejus Valančius is located outside the southern wall of the church, and the reconstructed bell tower is the only surviving structure from the 13th-century Kaunas Castle, making it of great historical significance.
