Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus and St Ladislaus
Vilnius Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Lithuania. Rebuilt multiple times in its more than 600-year history, it took on its current appearance in the early 19th century (architect Laurynas Gucevičius). The cathedral served believers without interruption from 1387 until the mid-20th century. In the Soviet period, it was closed as a house of prayer from 1949 to 1989. It was ceremoniously reconsecrated on 5 February 1989.
