Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Se trata de una de las pocas iglesias de madera de Lituania que se conservan con su forma gótica, con un campanario único de 27 metros de altura que domina el lago Galvė. En el interior del templo se guarda una rara copia de la Virgen de Trakai, considerada milagrosa por los fieles locales.
Destacados: La iglesia tiene una escalera oculta de 52 escalones que conduce a la cima del campanario, donde la vista del lago y el castillo de Trakai es literalmente fascinante. Pocos saben que bajo el suelo hay un pasadizo subterráneo que se dice conectaba antiguamente el templo con el castillo vecino.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes, because the cobblestone path from the parking area to the church is full of small uneven surfaces.
- Climb the bell tower for the best photo of Trakai Castle across the lake.
- Avoid Sunday mornings, unless you want to attend an authentic Lithuanian service.
- Make a stop at the small stall outside the church; it sells handmade ceramic icons of the Virgin Mary.
