Aukštadvario Šv. Dominyko bažnyčia
Facts and practical information
The Dominican monastery in the high court - the Dominican monastery operating from 1628 to 1832 and again after Lithuania regained independence in 1991.
The monastery was founded by Jan Alfons Lacki, the staroste of the general Samogitian, and his wife Joanna, in 1628. He operated to the cash register in 1832. The tsarist authorities adapted the buildings to the barracks at that time, while the monastery church of St. Dominika was rebuilt into the Orthodox church. At the end of the 19th century, the Orthodox clergy also received the rest of the former residential buildings for religious. The whole was rebuilt in the Russian-Bizantic style, blurring the original appearance of the complex. Catholics took over the church again in 1919, while a school was opened in the monastery buildings. They also performed this function after World War II; During Lithuania's belonging to the USSR, the church was closed. In 90. All buildings were returned to the Dominicans, who currently run a shelter for old people with a home chapel. The renovation of the devastated main monastery temple was also undertaken.
The iconostasis from the church in the high court most likely came after the recovery of the temple to the warehouse at the church of the Mother of God in Jewi, from where he was handed over to the church in Taurogi.
