 St. Francis and
Bernardine by Carletto76
It was first built as part of the defensive walls up to the lower castle, but after some restorations in the 17th century it gained gothic style decorations outside, while the interior is mainly baroque.
I couldn't visit this church and the nearby St.Anne because of a wedding, so I really cannot say anything more! Leave a Comment Phone: +370.5.2609292Directions: Near St Ann's church

 St. Francis and Bernardine's
and its belfry by evaanna, 4 more photos
The extensive damage results from the church's turbulent history. To begin with, it was burnt down by the Cossacks in 1655, together with the monks and the townsfolk sheltering there. In the 18th century it came under artillery fire of the Muscovites and the rest of the damage was done in the Soviet era. The building served as army barracks, a store of building materials and, later, was presented to the School of Fine Arts, which intended to transform it into its main hall. The School still functions in the monastery buildings but the church itself has been used for worship again since 1994. The church is now being restored but the work requires massive funds and some of its treasures will probably never be recovered.
More pictures of the church can be found in the travelogue. Note the beautiful belfry at the back, which can be seen in the first picture. Leave a Comment Phone: +370 (5) 260 92 92Directions: Next to St Ann's church

Right next to St. Anne's and I mean next to it is the church of St. Francis and St. Bernardine. After their arrival in Vilnius the Bernardine monks built a wooden church in the latter half of the 15th century and at the end of that century a brick one. In the early 16th century it was reconstructed and afterwards many times renewed, especially after the war with Moscow (1655-61). During the Soviet occupation it was closed and handed over to the Art Institute. At the present the chruch is under restoration. Leave a Comment

Medieval church with very old inside (pity, but inside is still not reconstructed). Built in XV century and have a Gothic style.
Medieval Gothic church, built in XV century and is nearby St Ann's church. Wars and fires destroyed inside of this church. The interior mostly remained untouched and not reconstructed from that time, but there are some reconstruction works at the moment. Worth visiting to see how church looks after fires, wars and plunders. Leave a Comment Directions: Near Cathedral and St Ann's church.
