The real name of church is Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This church have celebrated its 100 years jubilee in 2006. The construction of church was funded by Tiskevicius, the same who have built palace in Lentvaris. I have never seen so strange style church still in Lithuania and travels to foreign countries and I was kinda surprised about it. Church was built in neo romanic style, looking somewhat more Spanish, Moorish. Interior in some ways looked like in Jewish synagogues.
Inside church woman were selling postcards of Lentvaris church. It is quite strange as well, as I never believed that such small, still non-tourist city could have postcards to purchase.

French Eduardo Andre was very famous park designer. He was invited to Lithuanian land in second half of XIX century to design some rich landowners parks. In that time Tiskevicius minor park was designed. It is said that Eduard Andre designed parks in Lithuania was the best works of his carrier (Traku Voke, Uzutrakis, Palanga and more parks).
Lentvaris park surrounded by Lentvaris lake from south and by three ponds from the East side. I liked water to watch some rare trees in this park, system of small water streams with artificially made stone bridges, tunnels, water falls.
