Church of St. Michael the Archangel

This is a beautiful church that I “stumbled upon”. From the outside it is really mesmerizing, the inside is more humble but also worth visiting. There are stunning paintings on the walls and also a beautifully painted cupola. I went in on a Sunday and was lucky because there was a free orchestra concert! 🎶 🖼️

This is a striking building that really stands out when you see it in person. The exterior feels quite grand and different from many other churches in the area, and it is easy to appreciate the scale when you walk up close. The space around it is fairly open, so you can take a moment to look at it properly rather than just passing by. I did not spend a very long time inside, but it was still worth stepping in to see the interior and enjoy the calm atmosphere. A nice place to pause for a few minutes while exploring the city.

The outside is a lot more impressive than the inside. More than the Greek orthodox or Russian orthodox some more clean and simple lines. Definitely worth checking out

The Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Kaunas is a beautiful example of Neo-Byzantine architecture. It’s a peaceful place to visit with stunning mosaics and intricate details inside. Take your time to admire the artwork, and don’t miss the impressive dome! It’s also near the city center, so it’s easy to combine with a stroll through Kaunas Old Town. Be sure to check if there are any concerts or events happening, as the acoustics in the church are amazing!

Looks great especially night time when all lights are on

I had not an opportunity to visit it inside, but outside this church is unique and extremely beautiful. This style stands out from the city’s architecture.

The Neo-Byzanthine Archangel Michael church is an eyecatcher on Liberty Avenue. Looking onto a map of Centras it plays an essential architectoral highlight. with its horizon dominating dome. It feels like a smaller version of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia (Bulgaria). Very picturesque. Not to miss when in Kaunas!

Beautiful 19th century church with a very interesting history. There were plans to build a catholic church on the site in the 19th century, but the plans were scrapped after the 1830 uprising. In 1890 the church was built as an othodox garrison church for the russian soldiers. During WWI the bells were stolen by german troops. After Lithuanian independence, the church was rebuilt, now as a Roman catholic garrison church.
