Vytautas was the first ruler of Lithuania to be buried in Vilnius Cathedral. He contributed to the reconstruction and decoration of the church.1930 was the year when 500 years since Vytautas death was commemorated. It was hoped that by the time the remains of the grand duke would be recovered and transferred into the newly made sarcophagus. In fact, though, the search for Vytautas remains has not stopped yet.
