St. George's Church

  Kražių 17     more than a year ago
A classic neo-Byzantine, red brick structure built in 1909 as a garrison church for tsarist troops stationed in the city, this peculiar-looking building was taken over by the city’s Catholics in 1919 and remodelled along less Orthodox lines in 1923. Suffering the usual Soviet fates and misfortunes, the building was used for non-religious purposes for many years before being returned to the Catholic Church and subsequently consecrated again 1999.
