Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of Kaunas, Lithuania, Christ's Resurrection Church stands as an impressive monument of religious significance and architectural beauty. This modernist masterpiece was designed as a symbol of spiritual and national rebirth for the Lithuanian people, reflecting the country's resilience and determination.

The church's construction began in the interwar period but was halted by the outbreak of World War II and subsequent Soviet occupation. It was only in the late 20th century that the structure was completed, finally being consecrated in 2004. Standing at a height of 70 meters, Christ's Resurrection Church is not only a place of worship but also a prominent landmark in Kaunas.

The building's sleek, minimalist design sets it apart from traditional ecclesiastical architecture, with a spacious and luminous interior that invites contemplation. The church's large terrace offers panoramic views of the city, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists alike.

Christ's Resurrection Church also serves as a community hub, hosting various cultural and religious events throughout the year. Its significance is not merely religious; it is also a testament to the endurance of the Lithuanian spirit through trying times.
