[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
St. Michael the Archangel's Church was built in 1888 - 1893, as orthodox church for a Kaunas Fortress russian garrison, in Neo-Byzantine style, typical of tsarist Russia. During the German occupation (1915 - 1918) it served Lutherans. Church was used as Catholic garrison church during the interbellum, when Kaunas was capital of independent Lithuania. During the Soviet occupation (1940 - 1991), it was used as an art gallery. Since 1991 it is again a Roman-Catholic church.
