About
Quick facts: The monastery complex stands out in the Baltic Sea region thanks to its unique Baroque architecture. It is famous for its frescoes by Zsigmond Szenes, and the exquisite tiled stoves and carved wooden furnishings are also noteworthy.
Highlights: The building complex sits on a quiet, landscaped hillside offering a stunning panoramic view of the Nemunas River. The light filtering through the tiny windows in the church's dome creates a magical play among the Baroque frescoes.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the park area is large and has gentle slopes.
- The gallery beneath the dome inside the church is the best spot for photos.
- Choose only guided tours to learn more about the historical details of the building.
- If you prefer a quieter experience, visit on weekday mornings.
