The Jesuit Church St Casimir - Casimir is patron saint of Poland and Lithuania. He was born as a prince of Poland, the second son of King Casimir IV and Elizabeth of Austria. He died at the age of 23 in 1484 from lung disease.
Founded by the Jesuits and dedicated to St. Casimir, construction of the church began in 1604 and finished in 1635. It burned down in 1655, when the Russian army entered Vilnius. The church was twice more destroyed by fire in 1707 and 1749. The famous architect and astronomer Tomas Žebrauskas, headed the reconstruction of the church in 1749-55. His work can be seen in the graded cupola and the main altar. From 1751 to 1753 Hans Kierner, a Prussian sculptor, decorated the interior. Frescos of St. Casimir's life were painted by the Czech artist Joseph Obst.
